Oliver Rotary Endowment Fund

The Rotary Club of Oliver established the Oliver Rotary Endowment Fund (OREF) in October 2010. The OREF was created to provide financial assistance to youth organizations in Oliver and the adjacent rural area to support youth activities related to health, education, social development, recreation and culture. The OREF’s initial funding resulted from an anonymous bequest and 50% matching funds from the MacFarlane Endowment Incentives Program.The OREF is a ‘Donor Advised Fund’ and was set up as an ‘open fund’ so that anyone can make a contribution to grow the fund. Grants are paid from investment earnings thereby sustaining the OREF in perpetuity.

Donate to the Oliver Community Fund

The Oliver Community Fund was established in 2000 by a few local individuals and business who collectively gave $5,000 to establish the Fund and was matched dollar-for-dollar by the Community Foundation of the South Okanagan | Similkameen. The funds were endowed with the vision to create a sustainable source of funding for the community of Oliver.

The Oliver Community Fund is set up as on “open fund” so that anyone can make a contribution to give back to their community.

The Purpose of the Endowment Fund

The Fund was created to provide financial assistance to local organizations who are working hard to better our community. The fund supports all areas of need and was established to provide a sustainable source of funding for the community.

Grants will be paid from investment earnings so that the original donation value continues to earn revenue for future granting.
