The Community Foundation Advantage

We serve Abbotsford by connecting donors with causes that matter to them. Together, we build, invest, and manage the gifts we have been given, for the long-term vitality of our community.

Because donations are pooled and invested, with the annual earnings being reinvested into Abbotsford, your gifts to the Abbotsford Community Foundation continue to make an impact for years to come.

Please see our Giving Guide for complete information on what we do, why we do it, and how you can get involved in a way that supports your values and wishes for our community.

IT STARTS WITH A SEED: WHAT IS THE ACF?

We respectfully acknowledge that we are located on the traditional and unceded territory of the Stó:lō people, the Semá:th First Nation and Mathxwí First Nation. We respect the longstanding relationships that Indigenous Nations have to this land, as they are the original caretakers. As Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples, we share the responsibility for the continued stewardship of this beautiful land.
