Heritage Legacy Fund

Heritage Legacy Fund logo

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.

As an organization of provincial scope, Heritage BC recognizes that its members, and the local history and heritage they seek to preserve, occupy the lands and territories of B.C.’s Indigenous peoples. Heritage BC asks its members and everyone working in the heritage sector to reflect on the places where they reside and work, and to respect the diversity of cultures and experiences that form the richness of our provincial heritage.
