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 2024, we were proud to grant $3.5M to community 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.
This initiative provides VPD detectives the ability to provide a collection of personal safety items and essential supplies to help victims flee violent and abusive relationships. These care packages provide hope and dignity to victims of all ages.
The Women’s Personal Safety Team provides free personal safety workshops to women 16 years of age and older on a year-round basis. The workshops are led by female VPD officers and teach tactics designed to be easily learned and remembered by women with no prior training in case they are ever faced with a situation of unavoidable violence.
