ENDOWMENT FUND

The Vancouver Out On Screen Film & Video Legacy Fund is managed by the Vancouver Foundation and will ensure the long-term stability and growth of Out On Screen.

When you donate to the endowment fund you will be creating a lasting legacy for generations. All funds donated towards the endowment will be invested and held in perpetuity. Our goal is to grow the fund to $250,000, after which time a portion of the proceeds will be used as general revenue, with the remainder reinvested into the fund to ensure long term growth.

Please consider giving today for a better future tomorrow!

Did you know?

Donating appreciated securities can offer more tax savings than giving the same amount in cash. The Out On Screen Legacy Fund can accept gifts of publicly traded stocks, bonds or mutual fund units. You will not have to pay capital gains tax on the securities and you will receive a tax receipt for their value on the day of the donation. We can provide you with more details and an illustration of the tax savings if this is of interest to you.
