Mission 

We inspire giving to transform lives and communities.  

We engage community to invest in Okanagan College’s campuses, learning spaces, equipment, and programs, and we create opportunities for donors to help students fulfill their potential through education.  

Our Story 

Okanagan College Foundation started its journey in 2003, aligning with Okanagan College in its current form in 2005. By building philanthropic relationships with donors who share our passion for the transformative power of education, we have helped students fulfill their dreams, and invested in state-of-the-art buildings and equipment which reflect the quality of Okanagan College’s teaching and learning. 

Responsibilities  

• We build sustainable funds which support the success of today’s students and manage the growth of our endowment to safeguard that of future generations. 
• We build trust and credibility with donors through sound financial management and good governance. We value transparency and integrity and adopt the Donor Bill of Rights. 
• We support the College’s commitment to equality, diversity, inclusion, and social justice. 
• We pledge to work with, learn from and listen to our Indigenous communities as we engage donors to help advance the College’s journey toward reconciliation. 
• We engage community to support Okanagan College’s Inspire Plan – fund development responds to and advances the strategic priorities of the College and the regions it serves.
