Heritage Legacy Fund
The Heritage Legacy Fund (HLF) was established in 2003 through an initial gift of $5 million from the Province of British Columbia. The fund is held by the Vancouver Foundation and administered by trusted advisors Heritage BC to provide community support, educational resources and grants for heritage projects throughout British Columbia. An additional provincial investment of $5 million in 2022 represented a significant increase to the Heritage Legacy Fund and will allow for the continued development of BCs heritage sector.
