What We Fund

hand icon symbolizing care
Grief & Trauma Support
We offer funding to help cover the cost of grief and trauma therapy for children, youth, and parents navigating loss or emotional hardship. Whether it’s one-on-one counselling, group sessions, or psycho-educational workshops our goal is to ensure that compassionate, qualified care is accessible when it’s needed most. We’ve partnered with OK Clinical Therapy Group—home to over 50+ vetted, Masters-level clinicians across 8 regions of British Columbia—who are deeply experienced in grief and trauma care. This partnership ensures that families receive trusted, specialized support close to home, with cost control allowing for extended support. Because healing should never be a privilege—it’s a right, and a pathway to hope, connection, and long-term resilience.

Children’s Sports & Arts Access
We help cover the costs of registration, equipment, and access so that every child has the opportunity to participate fully in sports—whether it's joining a local team, getting the right gear, or traveling to a tournament. Because movement, connection, and a sense of belonging are essential to healing and growing strong. To make this possible, we’ve partnered with Mallards Source for Sports to provide quality equipment, and we work closely with community sports associations to remove financial barriers, including access to tournaments and special events.

Community Connection
We support trainings, events, and gatherings that bring people together to connect, listen, and hold space for one another. This includes funding for community-led events and gatherings that foster connection, as well as training for grief professionals, educators, and community members who support others through loss and hardship. Whether in times of grief or seasons of growth, these shared experiences nurture understanding, deepen belonging, and help strengthen the relationships that allow communities to heal, rebuild, and thrive together.
