The Community Foundation of the North Okanagan has supported various programs for the Literacy Society since 2013. Over the years, The Foundation's funding has provided hundreds of children with learning support, primarily in reading. We are grateful for the Community Foundation's continuous support in our programming.

CFNO has certainly been "foundational" for Men's Shed Vernon. We have benefited by their knowledge, advice and special support as we get established for the long term as a local non profit group. Thanks to Lisa for the web support, and to Leanne for always being there for her know-how and know-who in the North Okanagan. Couldn't have done this without you!

Working with the Community Foundation of North Okanagan is a shining example of how working together can make an incredible impact in the community. We proudly partner with CFNO on COVID Relief, the Sustainable Recovery Grants and, frankly, anytime there's an opportunity to make a difference together in the community.

The Community Foundation of the North Okanagan's charitable work spans all sectors of need in our community. It plays such an important role in creating sustainability through endowment funds and short term impact through their granting program. I look forward to seeing the foundation grow over time so that contributors funds can have a lasting legacy within our community. Regards, Dauna Kennedy Executive Director Vernon Public Art Gallery
