Prince George, B.C. - Hard to believe it has already been 15 years since the Prince George Community Foundation came to be.
Last night, about 150 people were on hand at Exploration Place to celebrate the Foundation's 15th Anniversary and the organizations which it funds.
The Foundation provides grants to charitable organizations which perform worthwhile projects in a variety of areas all aimed at enhancing the quality of life in Prince George.
In 1998 the first grant of $1000 was given to the BC Schizophrenia Society to benefit Prince George youth afflicted by the disease. Foundation President Lorraine Grant says there have been many more grants since then “I am proud to say that since that time we have, as of August 31, 2010 distributed close to $620,000 in grants and earned income.”
