The purpose of the BC Naturalists’ Foundation is to promote the preservation of the natural environment for future generations through conservation, education and research projects.
The BC Naturalists’ Foundation is a registered charity formed in 1990 by members of the Federation of BC Naturalists, now known as BC Nature. The Foundation is independent of BC Nature but is linked to it by shared goals and by the power of the BC Nature to appoint members and nominate directors.
The Foundation aims to build a strong capital base, the income from which provides a source of funds for grants to the conservation and education projects of BC Nature and local naturalist clubs. Since its founding, the BC Naturalists’ Foundation has provided over $230,000 in grants.
Your financial support increases the capital of the Foundation and its capacity to make grants for the conservation and nature education projects of naturalists for years to come. Not only will this benefit the Foundation, your contribution may reduce your personal income tax payment. Naturalists planning a bequest or a major gift should seek professional advice.
All donations, unless specified otherwise, will be added to the Endowment Fund and only the earnings from the Endowment Fund will be available for disbursement.
