The Community Foundation of Whistler is like the long-term savings account for the community. Our objective is to help donors give back to the community in a way that creates personal meaning for them and impact on the community. The Community Foundation of Whistler gives donors the unique opportunity to create their own legacy for the community in the form of an endowment fund. Gifts to endowment funds are pooled and form assets for the community. Earnings from these professionally managed assets are granted back into the community each year to registered charities who are working to improve the community. We are a charitable public foundation, operated by members of our local community who live, work and raise their families here in the Sea to Sky region. We bring people together to create opportunities for dialogue, learning, and partnership. Our knowledge of the community helps us to create maximum impact with our grant programs.

The Guatemala Stove Project (GSP) is a group of North American volunteers that began working in response to a request for help from CEDEC, an indigenous non-profit group working in Guatemala's Altiplano (Western Highlands). CEDEC had identified the need for masonry cookstoves in the communities they serve, but residents lacked the material resources to build stoves for themselves. The Guatemala Stove Project was born out of this need. Currently the GSP works with 3 Guatemalan NGO's. Other activities include emergency relief, sustainable projects promoting nutrition, education, and micro-loans. Because the stoves burn more efficiently family wood consumption is reduced by about 50%. Guatemala loses 2% of its forests annually, mainly to the need for cooking fuel firewood. The Guatemala Stove Project documents its work extensively, photographing each stove and the receiving family. It costs CND $225.00 to provide a stove for a Maya family.

FogQuest is an innovative, international, non-governmental, non-profit organization. It is a registered charity in Canada. Our water projects are for small rural communities in the most arid parts of the world. Even in locations with little or no rain, there are often fog-covered hills that can be a source of clean water for the people. We work with the communities and local NGOs to develop projects that are appropriate to the environment, and the culture and religion of the people. The large fog collectors require no energy source. The fog droplets are carried to the mesh of the collectors by the wind. The water that is produced flows by gravity to the community. Because fog, and rain when it occurs, are almost entirely free of harmful bacteria, the fog collection system is also a good alternative in places where the ground water supply is contaminated. Twenty large fog collectors can provide water for a village of 200 people. The cost is low, only about $1 for 1000 liters of water.
