Creating An Architectural Legacy for the People of BC

The Architecture Foundation of BC was conceived by a group of senior BC architects in 1999 to recognize and encourage excellence in architecture. Incorporated in early 2001, the Foundation was formally registered as a public foundation on March 1, 2001. Since then the Foundation has held various programs and fundraising events to build a fund from which it can provide grants to support and fulfill its mission to promote awareness, understanding and appreciation of architecture in British Columbia.

Fundraising events, such as an annual golf tournament, are organized by volunteers and provide ongoing funding for grants. Generous sponsorships and donations contribute significantly to the success of these initiatives and the Foundation’s ability to provide such support, while bequests, endowments and other gifts provide long term stability. The Foundation is grateful for the significant donations to date.

Thank you to AFBC’s generous 2011 sponsors.
