About Food Banks British Columbia

Overview

Food Banks British Columbia is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing community food banks with the support and resources necessary to accept, store, and distribute donations of fresh produce, protein, dairy, and more. By diverting food from dumps into the hands of 80,000 people each month who are hungry in British Columbia, the organization plays a crucial role in addressing food insecurity in the region. They acquire bulk donations of food and ensure they reach any community in BC requiring food assistance. Additionally, Food Banks British Columbia operates the BC Coupon Program, provides emergency assistance during crises like pandemics or natural disasters, and maintains a province-wide emergency preparedness and response program to ensure the safe collection, transportation, and distribution of food during emergencies.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about getting started.

How does WellFunded work?

Donor-advised funds, wealth advisors and foundations use WellFunded to find, research and fund Canadian charities. Instead of rewriting the same proposal for every funder, you complete one profile and it's ready for all of them. Fill in a few short sections and upload your annual report, and we'll turn it into an impact page funders can find by cause, location and program.

Do I need to apply for funding?

No. Funders search WellFunded for charities that match what they want to support, and your profile is what they find. When a funder wants to know more, you'll hear from us. Some funders also post Giving Opportunities for a specific focus, and you can respond to those with the profile you've already built.

What does it cost?

WellFunded is free for charities. We don't charge transaction fees, and we never take a cut of any gift. Funders pay to use the platform.

Who sees my profile?

Donor-advised funds, advisors and foundations using WellFunded to research charities. Together they manage over $2.3B in charitable assets. WellFunded isn't open to the general public.

What is a WellCheck?

When a funder is seriously considering your charity, they may ask for a WellCheck. It's a short set of questions plus a few documents, reviewed alongside your audited financials and CRA filings. We present findings, not verdicts: no scores and no rankings. Do it once, and it's ready for every funder who asks after that.

Is my information secure?

Yes. Your data stays in Canada, and we never sell it. See our privacy policy for details.

Is this legitimate?

WellFunded is a Canadian company, built in B.C. by the team behind one of Canada's first online donor-advised funds. If you'd like to meet us first, book a small group session with Jeff, our co-founder and CEO.
