Please, join our Community Giving Program and help create a neighbourhood where everybody can thrive.

Community DonorsWe value and cherish our corporate partners who want to give back to their community and make an impact through philanthropy. When your business supports First, you’re not only making a difference in the community, we also have a variety of employee engagement, recognition, and additional benefits to meet your needs.
Community PartnersOur partners at foundations and within government are key to making our programs and services possible and achieving our vision of a neighbourhood where every person’s worth is celebrated and all people thrive. Community Funders are instrumental to helping us provide essential services, community connection, and healing to those who seek it in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside.
Community FundersFrom across BC and Canada, Communities of Faith help us provide sanctuary in the heart of our city, offer pastoral care to an oppressed community, and meet our community member’s needs without judgement or expectation. We welcome communities to support First United’s essential work and through the Communities of Faith program can offer your congregants unique engagement opportunities.
