A sincere thank you to all of the charities and community organizations who participated in the Powell River Community Foundation Charity Event.

The afternoon was a reminder of just how many people across the qathet region are working quietly and tirelessly to strengthen our community, support those in need, and create opportunities for others. We are grateful to each organization that took the time to share their work, connect with the community, and help make the event such a meaningful gathering.

One of the greatest strengths of the qathet region is the people and organizations who continue showing up for one another. Thank you for all you do.

What does community look like?

It looks like neighbors supporting neighbors.
It looks like opportunities being created close to home.
It looks like people choosing to invest in a future we all share.

At Powell River Community Foundation, we’re proud to be part of that story—connecting local generosity with real community needs.

Some of the most meaningful impact happens quietly.
A gift given today can support our community for years to come—through grants, scholarships, and opportunities that continue to grow over time.
That’s the power of local giving.
That’s the power of community.
For Good. For Ever.

Behind every scholarship is a story like this:

"I would like to thank you very much for the generous Russell & Ruth Jenkins Memorial Scholarship I was awarded [through the Powell River Community Foundation]. It is very much appreciated and will be of great help in pursuing my Heavy Duty Mechanics program at VIU in the fall."- Scholarship recipient

This is what local giving looks like in action.

A student takes the next step.
A future tradesperson builds a career.
And our community grows stronger because of it.

We’re grateful to the donors who make opportunities like this possible—creating pathways that last far beyond the classroom
