How We Give

We are committed to supporting our community. Our consideration of support is based on three focus areas: Acessibility, Community and Environment.

Caring Beyond, Every Day.

Our community investment program's theme is Caring Beyond, Every Day. We look for ways to fund organizations that have an innovative approach to creating community programs in our three focus areas. We will look at all applications and determine their alignment with YVR's values, mission and vision along with our theme and pillars.

Our three pillars of community investment are:

ACCESSIBILITY
