Since 1969, we distributed over 13 million dollars to 350 charities on southern Vancouver Island. What inspires us, year after year, is the opportunity to make a difference in virtually every aspect of community life.   2007 Victoria's Vital Signs We want your input! online survey   2007 LEAD GRANT "Victoria's Vital Youth" more Victoria's Vital Signs more Growing up & Growing strong annual report               This site is best viewed with Internet Explorer 6 or Netscape 7
