Welcome to the Quesnel Community Foundation!
2017 Gala
Saturday April 8th
Tickets are now on sale, just $40 each, for an evening at Quesnel & District Seniors' Centre - doors open at 6.00pm, the magic starts at 6.30pm...literally! The Magical Jesaja will open the evening on-stage, then take to the floor to baffle and bewilder.
Join us for an event of fun and games, silent and live auctions, bucket draws...and a reverse draw to win two spots on a wonderful 3-day expedition with Big Canyon Rafting.
Stayed tuned by following our Facebook event page.
To buy your tickets, head to Circle S Western Wear on Reid Street, or email us at qcf@shaw.ca - cash or cheque only for tickets, but credit/debit card services will be available on the night courtesy of Integris, along with a Safe Ride Home service sponsored by AC&D Insurance.

2017 Grants
Another record year! More projects supported (18) and more funds invested ($67,670) than any previous year, bring our total awarded since 2001 to just over $488,000.
For details, head to our "Funded Projects" page.
Our 2018 Grants Cycle is due to open 1st November 2017...but it's never too soon to see what's involved, as set out on our "How To Receive Grants" page.
2016 $50,000 challenge
Between 1st November and 10th December, we were set a challenge: raise at least $50,000 and anonymous donors would match that $50,000 with a donation of their own to the Community Endowment Fund.
Thanks to the enduring generosity of the community we serve, we were rewarded with donations exceeding $67,500 to secure that additional $50,000 donation.
Of course, we accept donations throughout the year, by way of cash, cheque, Interac, Visa, MasterCard, and existing investments. For more details, go to the How To Give tab.
Thankyou, again, for your support. Follow our continuing progress via our Facebook page.

The gift that keeps on giving
Quesnel Community Foundation operates under the premise that all donations received will be used to generate investment income to be used to fund our Grants...with the capital created by those donations never being spent.
Your gift will last, and give, forever. Click on our How To Give tab
