In early May, the Prince George Community Foundation proudly awarded over $220,000 through our General Supports Grant to 20 local nonprofit organizations. This funding helps provide and strengthen the programs and services that make a real difference in our community- from youth and family to education, health, the arts, and more.
We extend our heartfelt congratulations to each of this year’s recipients. Their dedication and hard work help to make Prince George a more connected, compassionate and vibrant place to call home. The Prince George Community Foundation is proud to give back to the organizations that give so much of themselves every day!
