Removing barriers. Transforming futures. Give today.
At Douglas College, students are working hard to shape their futures, but for many, financial barriers stand in the way. Rising costs of housing, food, and transportation make it harder than ever for students to focus on their studies and achieve their academic and career goals.
The Douglas College Foundation exists to change that. With the generosity of our donors, we open doors to education, support student success, and help build an environment for every learner to thrive, both in the classroom and beyond.
About Us
The Douglas College Foundation is the charitable arm of Douglas College, dedicated to advancing student success through community giving. We connect donors, alumni, and partners with opportunities to make a direct and lasting impact on students’ lives.
Your generosity helps ensure that every student, regardless of background or circumstance, can access the education, resources, and support they need to succeed. Together, we are building a stronger, more equitable future for our students and our community.
Our Funding Priorities
Every gift makes a difference. When you give to the Douglas College Foundation, you choose where your impact is felt most.
Scholarships, Awards & Bursaries
Education changes lives, and financial support can make all the difference. Scholarships, awards, and bursaries recognize excellence, encourage perseverance, and remove financial stress so students can focus on their studies. By setting up an award, you can directly support students in the program or faculty that you are most passionate about.
Your gift helps students stay in school, achieve their goals, and give back to the communities they’ll one day serve.
If you would like to set up an award, please contact us at foundation@douglascollege.ca or (604) 777-6175.
Greatest Needs Fund
Your unrestricted support allows the Foundation to respond quickly to the College’s and students’ most urgent priorities, whether that’s new learning opportunities, emergency relief, or mental health support.
By giving to the Greatest Needs Fund, you’re empowering students and programs where help is needed most.
Feed Their Future
No student should have to choose between buying food and paying for their education.
Feed Their Future is the Foundation’s campaign to support food security for Douglas College students. Alarmingly, 26% of our students reported low or very low food security, underscoring the urgent need to address this issue. Through donations to this campaign, we provide grocery cards, stock campus food pantries, and offer meal supports to ensure that every student can focus on learning, not worrying about their next meal.
Your generosity provides more than a meal. It offers stability, dignity, and hope to students who are striving toward a better future.
