Mission Statement
The Vancouver Police Foundation fosters partnerships with the public to enhance the Vancouver Police Department’s to engage with the community and to meet its objective to make Vancouver the safest major city in Canada.
About This Cause
The Vancouver Police Foundation was established in 1976 to support the Vancouver Police Department’s efforts to promote community well-being, increase public safety and prevent crime. Many of these programs serve those most vulnerable and at-risk in our community. A federally-registered charity and provincially incorporated non-profit society, the VPF funds innovative programs led by VPD officers, often on their own time and after their shifts. Since 1976, the Foundation has granted over $11 million to initiatives that help to build community and support those who are most vulnerable in our city. Foundation funding is for programs that fall outside of the VPD’s regular operating budget from the City of Vancouver. The VPF does not fund policing services and has no input into the VPD’s operations. Our grants are focused on four areas: Youth; Mental Health & Addictions; Community Outreach and Engagement; and Technology & Special Equipment.
