A Message from Carol Biely, Chair
 Welcome to the Salt Spring Island Foundation website!
If, like me, you are lucky enough to live on Salt Spring, or are a visitor enjoying the natural beauty, heritage sights, activities, and entertainment on the island, you will be surrounded by community projects supported by the Foundation.
We offer you a one-stop way to support many aspects of community life. Whether your interest is in supporting conservation, the arts, children, seniors, families, other social services—or all of the above—we can help you leave a lasting legacy to benefit the island for years to come.
You can be confident that the Foundation’s trustees are committed to the growth and careful stewardship of our endowment fund, and to responsible and balanced granting to deserving organizations.
For more information please contact one of the trustees, or send us an e-mail. Together we can make Salt Spring Island an even better place to live and play.
Sincerely,
Carol Biely
Chair, Board of Trustees
