About the Heritage Legacy Fund of British Columbia

The Heritage Legacy Fund is a joint initiative of The Land Conservancy (TLC) and the Heritage Society of BC (HSBC). Its purpose is to provide guidance and financial support for community heritage projects throughout British Columbia.

The Fund was established through an initial endowment of $5 million, contributed by the Province of British Columbia, through the Minister of Community, Aboriginal and Women's Services. Further development and growth of the fund will take place in the coming years.

The Fund is located as an endowment with the Vancouver Foundation. To manage and administer the fund, HSBC and TLC have established the Heritage Legacy Fund of BC Society, which is charged with the responsibility of adjudicating, monitoring and accounting for all grants.

The Board of Directors for the Heritage Legacy Fund of BC Society comprises two appointments from each of HSBC and TLC, two at-large community representatives and an ex-officio representative of the Province of BC.
