We’re Merging!
Where We Came From
Since 2003, the Centre has been a strategic grant-maker and capacity builder engaged in strengthening BC’s not-for-profit organizations at their operating core.
Our flagship program, the Partners in Organizational Development (POD) grants (now known as Capacity Grants) has provided over 600 social services, arts, environmental and Aboriginal not for profit organizations with funds to engage strategic consulting expertise and targeted technical assistance, to purchase professional development for board and staff and to subsidize management time so people can better focus on funded projects.
Projects funded during the 2009/2010 grant cycles can be found by clicking here or by going to the Programs Page.
Where We Are Going
The Centre is now in the final stages of amalgamating with the Centre for Non Profit Management, in Victoria. A board comprised of members from both founding organizations has developed a long term vision for a new organization that seeks to become the leadership organization for non profit capacity issues in BC.

A restructuring process is underway that will see a consolidation of operations of the new organization in Vancouver or in Victoria, by fall 2010.
During the current transition period, both Centres continue to provide core program services.
New Capacity Grant cycles for arts and Aboriginal organizations will be announced for fall 2010. Please check back here in September for details.
Capacity grant programs for social services and environmental organizations are no longer being funded.
