Who We Are
The Real Estate Foundation of BC (REFBC) is a philanthropic organization working to advance sustainable, equitable, and socially just land use across BC. We fund projects, connect people, and share knowledge.
“REFBC’s support is a powerful example of reconciliation in action. Their leadership recognizes that all Indigenous people, regardless of geography, have a strong voice and can and do make valuable contributions to this province.”
