The Real Estate Foundation of BC’s 2017-18 Annual Report and Audited Financial Statements are now available to download.

Please note: The Foundation has adjusted its fiscal year from “January to December” to “April to March”. Our 2017-18 reports cover January to March 2017, as well as the fiscal year (April 2017 to March 2018). As a result, these reports contain financial and program information for 15 months (five quarters).

In 2018, REFBC is celebrating 30 years of grantmaking. In three decades, the Foundation has broadened its focus areas, begun collaborations with other funders, and approved more than $80 million to support land use and real estate projects in communities across BC.

Highlights from 2017-18:

Between January 1, 2017 and March 31, 2018, the REFBC Board of Governors approved $6,615,745 in funding to support 76 projects related to land use and real estate. That’s our largest annual investment in grants since the financial crisis of 2008.

In addition to grantmaking, REFBC has released five reports, hosted and supported several working groups and task forces, and developed BC Snapshot frameworks for measuring province-wide changes in the subject areas we fund in.

We also made our first impact investments and, to date, we’ve invested $950,000 in projects and funds that have a financial return as well as social or environmental benefits.
