About Us

We are a small private foundation. Our mission is to increase access to community-based literacy programs and services for people of all ages in British Columbia. We do this by distributing micro-grants to eligible organizations.

We recognize that multiple literacies are essential for full participation in society.

We focus on:

Adult literacy
Digital literacy
Environmental literacy
Family literacy
Financial literacy
Legal literacy

Our Story

The impetus to support literacy comes from our work in nonprofit literacy organizations and our desire to support literacy initiatives with family and friends of literacy.
