By funding meaningful community engagement programs, the Vancouver Police Foundation helps thousands of vulnerable children, youth, adults and seniors through a number of VPD community engagement programs each year.
In 2025, we were proud to grant $2.6M to community outreach and engagement programs and initiatives that will changes lives in every corner of the city.
See some examples of the programs your gift will impact below.
Her Time is an anti-gang program specifically for females that helps them avoid and/or escape gang life. Taught by female VPD officers, Her Time inspires women to take control of their lives by teaching them how to actively steer clear of gang-recruitment activities and also helps plan a safe exit for those who are already involved in gang life.
Project Drogue gives youth the unique opportunity to board a VPD police vessel, tour the Harbour, Ports and False Creek, learn maritime skills and water safety, and share a meal with officers at Granville Island. Each participant attends alongside the police member who nominated them, helping build on an existing connection in a positive and supportive setting. All participants also receive a piece of VPD Marine Unit clothing to take home.
The Floor Hockey for Kids program is a free after-school initiative that runs at multiple community centres, offering kids and teens the chance to learn hockey skills while building confidence, life skills and positive relationships. Led by dedicated volunteers, including VPD officers, the program creates a fun and supportive space where youth connect with mentors and each other. Every participant also receives a healthy meal.
