Giving Tuesday is a day of giving where everyone is encouraged to do good things to support one another – either through acts of kindness or donations. This Giving Tuesday, the Prince George Community Foundation gave $18,000 in one-time grants to support charities in Prince George.
The Foundation put the names of all local registered charities into a basket and selected three finalists in each of the 6 categories of our giving: Arts & Culture, Education, Environment, Social Services, Health and Sports & Recreation. Through our website, members of our community were able to vote for their favorite registered charity. The final recipients are:
- Arts and Culture: Prince George Cantata Singers
- Sports: Caledonia Adaptive Snowsports Society
- Environment: David Douglas Botanical Garden Society
- Education: Central BC Railway & Forestry Museum
- Health: Canadian Mental Health Association of Northern BC
- Social Services: Crisis Prevention & Information Centre Northern BC
Each winner received $3,000 to support the good work they do in our community.
