Professional Advisors Handbook

To the Professional Advisor:
It is our pleasure to invite you and your clients to participate in the Community Foundation of the North Okanagan (“the Foundation”). Since its inception in 1975, the Foundation has been providing its donors with a flexible, low-cost, professionally managed vehicle to accomplish individual charitable goals.

As a professional advisor, you are in a unique position not only to support the charitable goals of your clients, but also significantly affect the quality of life in our communities. Funds established today in the Community Foundation of the North Okanagan will provide a critical stream of income in the decades ahead to meet the changing needs of our community.

This handbook is designed to make it easier for you to serve your clients. Please contact the Foundation office, or a member of the Board of Directors with any questions or comments you may have concerning the Foundation and its activities. In addition printed materials, including our Annual Report are available from our office and on our website.

We are grateful for the opportunity to work in partnership with you to both serve your clients and fund community initiatives.
