Help Us Build a Safer Community

Help Us Build a Safer Vancouver

The Vancouver Police Foundation was created 40 years ago with a clear purpose: to fund crime prevention programs that are above and beyond the annual operating budget of the Vancouver Police Department.

Since then, thanks to the support of the citizens and businesses of Vancouver, the Foundation has granted over $10 million towards more than 200+ innovative programs – initiatives that have helped the VPD save lives and prevent crime.

When you support the Vancouver Police Foundation, you become a partner in building safer neighbourhoods and making Vancouver a better city for all.

Make today’s #GivingTuesday a day for helping our community and supporting those fleeing domestic violence. Plus, your generosity will go 3x as far, thanks to a matching gift.

Increased isolation due to COVID-19 has sadly resulted in a spike in domestic violence cases.

The @VancouverPD Domestic Violence and Criminal Harassment (DVACH) and Victim Services (VSU) Units works around the clock to provide outreach and support to victims. As first responders, officers are in a unique position to intervene early and identify gaps in support.

As a Foundation, we have been proud to fund these officers’ programs that have increased the safety and well-being of domestic violence victims, including the Emergency Fund and Safety Resource Kits. But we need your help to continue to do so.

By donating today, you will fund emergency expenses for victims fleeing domestic violence. Plus, donations made right now will get triple-matched up to a total of $15K and support those facing the unimaginable.

Give today through the link in our bio.

Tomorrow is Giving Tuesday, and thanks to a matching gift, your generosity will go 3x as far!

Your donation today will support grants to deliver programs and initiatives that fill gaps in social support that @VancouverPD officers have identified. This includes programs like the Domestic Violence and Criminal Harassment Unit (DVACH) Safety Resource Kits.

By assisting high-risk domestic violence victims in need of immediate help, you will make a remarkable difference in the lives of families facing the unimaginable.

You don't need to wait until #GivingTuesdayCa to take advantage of the matched gift opportunity. Give now, and your donation will be triple-matched.

This means your $10 gift will become $30 to support our community!

Thanks to our amazing donors, the @vancouverpd Dom

Thanks to our amazing donors, the @vancouverpd Domestic Violence, Criminal Harassment and Elder Abuse Unit (DVACH) has been able to produce over 75 Safety Resource Kits.

These Safety Resource Kits have become an essential support for domestic violence victims. Each Kit has been tailored to the individual and can contain grocery or drugstore cards, emergency whistles, hand sanitizer, a 911 cell phone or phone minutes, protective cloth masks, emergency snacks and more.

With no time to gather basic supplies before they flee, domestic violence victims often have limited financial resources to assist themselves and their children. This can make them feel pressured to return to their abuser. And sadly, the increased isolation seen due to COVID-19 has resulted in a spike in domestic violence cases, making these Kits even more critical.

If you are able to support essential community programs like the Safety Resource Kits, please consider donating today. Your gift is going to make a huge difference to someone in need, and right now, thanks to a matched gift, every dollar you give will get triple matched up to a total of $15,000!

Thanks to our incredible donors, we are proud to support grant recipients like Cst Byron Yee. These officers go above and beyond to make our community a better, safer place.

Cst. Yee has been with the VPD for nearly 20 years and is currently the Chinatown-Gastown Neighbourhood Police Officer. Working with the @chinese_cpc Executive Director Elisha Yao, Cst. Yee developed a program to provide 8,000 residents with personal safety alarms. He applied to the Foundation for a grant to help fund this program.
