Each June, along with delivering a provincial conference, the BC Historical Federation participates in the Great Canadian Giving Challenge put on by CanadaHelps, a non-profit organization that makes it easy for Canadian charities to accept online donations.
Donations made to the BCHF in June will enter the organization into a national draw for $20,000. Donations received will be put into the BCHF Centennial Legacy Fund that supports community historians and heritage organizations undertake research and preservation projects around British Columbia.
- A $25 donation will help a student researcher conduct an oral history interview
- A $100 donation will give a local museum deeper access to the British Columbia Archives
- A $500 donation could help a local heritage site digitize archival images for sharing online
- A $1,000 donation could launch a ground-breaking community research project.
The draw for the $20K takes place July 1.
