In 2004 and 2005, the Foundation worked to build two new homes for the SOS Children’s Village, BC. SOS Children’s Village BC provides a community-based family care service to improve and sustain the quality of life for foster children and foster families. Foster children are frequently at risk of emotional disturbances, delayed social development and poor educational performance. Foster parents who raise these children require ongoing special resources and support and SOS fulfills that need.

Chilliwack Community Services
As construction progresses on Chilliwack’s newest second stage housing complex for youth, the technology that will soon help these at-risk youth update their resumes, find jobs and look for permanent housing has already been purchased thanks to a grant from the Envision Financial Community Endowment.
The endowment, which is housed with the First West Foundation, provided $9,957 to Chilliwack Community Services (CCS) to help outfit the new housing project with 16 computers and a server.
Fraser Canyon Hospital
Both patients and staff at Fraser Canyon Hospital are benefiting from a new medication cart thanks to a $7,100 grant from the Envision Financial Community Endowment housed with the First West Foundation.
Santa Rosa Place
Nothing is more important than feeling safe and secure in your own home. But for the residents of Santa Rosa Place—a second-stage transitional housing project run by the Women’s Resource Society of the Fraser Valley (WRSFV)—personal safety has been a major concern lately.
Big Brothers Big Sister Upper Fraser Valley
To some it might be just a photocopier, but for the staff and volunteers at Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) Upper Fraser Valley, the newest addition to the office is making a world of difference.
Delta Hospital Foundation
The Envision Foundation provided $100,000 for the hospital’s emergency ward expansion project.
Cooperative Development Foundation of Canada - Nepal
The Envision Foundation provided a $30,000 commitment over three years to help strengthen women’s credit unions and cooperatives in Nepal, maximizing the impact they can have in improving the lives of poor, rural women by combining access to improved financial services to other social development initiatives.
YWCA Fraser Gardens
According to the last Census, Langley has the highest number of single-mother families (as a proportion of total families) in the Lower Mainland. So when the YWCA opened Fraser Gardens in 2002, an apartment complex that provides single-parent low-income families with safe, affordable housing, no one was surprised when the building quickly filled to capacity.
Peace Arch Hospital
White Rock’s Peace Arch Hospital will soon have a new video cytoscopy unit thanks to a $5,000 donation from the Envision Charitable Foundation.
Hope Volunteer Search and Rescue Society
The Hope Volunteer Search and Rescue team recently procured some much-needed, state-of-the-art lifesaving equipment. Thanks in part to several substantial community donations, including $10,000 from the Envision Credit Union Charitable Foundation, Hope Volunteer Search and Rescue was able to purchase two new Jaws of Life units.
