The Langley Foundation is an innovative, one-of-a-kind organization dedicated to making a lasting difference in and around the communities that make up The Langleys. As a registered charity in British Columbia, we connect individuals, charities, non-profits, and other organizations with noteworthy causes in the community. It's our goal to make our community a stronger and more caring place to live through funding key infrastructure and other abandoned projects.
Our team has decades of local charity and non-profit experience and is positioned and ready to bring about these changes across Langley.
By supporting The Langley Foundation, you will help make an impact in the following areas:
Infrastructure
Creating a more walkable city with pedestrian paths and trails as well as improving community connectivity through improving infrastructure gaps.
Art, Heritage and Culture
Increased investment in historical preservation, educational resources, and cultural monuments.
Environment
More green spaces (such as parks, trees, and gardens) and more sustainable resources for the community to minimize pollution and create a safer place for all to live.
"By addressing key needs in these three areas, The Langley Foundation is poised to make the Langleys, a better, safer, and more desirable community for everyone.”
