Vancouver Chinatown Foundation
The City Builder Endowment Fund
The City Builder Endowment Fund
Led by The Jack & Darlene Poole Foundation
The City Builder Endowment Fund was established in 2025 to ensure that the momentum and positive impact created over the past decade can continue for generations to come.
Led by a transformational gift from The Jack & Darlene Poole Foundation, The Endowment represents a long-term investment in the future of Chinatown, the Historic Hastings neighbourhood, and our city.
Gifts to The Endowment are invested in perpetuity, with annual distributions supporting the Foundation’s work and providing the resources and flexibility to respond to future needs and opportunities. A gift made today will continue to make an impact for generations to come.
The City Builder Endowment Fund is overseen by a dedicated Investment Committee and professionally managed to provide enduring support for the Foundation’s work.
To learn more about The Endowment or discuss opportunities to become involved, please contact Lauren Wong at support@chinatownfoundation.org or 604-979-8368.
