Run For One Planet Blog

To create a permanent philanthropic Legacy, the Run for One Planet has partnered with the Vancouver Foundation. Established in 1943, Vancouver Foundation is Canada’s largest, and one of North America’s oldest, community foundations. Vancouver Foundation supports charities throughout British Columbia, and is the custodian of over 1,200 endowment funds with a total market value of approximately $650 million.

 The large size of the pooled asset base held at Vancouver Foundation allows for very competitive rates; total annual fees, including administrative and investment charges, amount to only about 1% of the fund’s total. As such, our partnership with the Vancouver Foundation will allow us to maximize the financial impact of your sponsorship. Their prudent fiscal management and low administration fees ensure the vast majority of income will be granted to green student initiatives, not overhead.

All donations for Run for One Planet Legacy will not only be held in perpetuity, but with this partnership, you will also receive an official tax receipt for your donation.
