Through diversity, we become stronger

Demands for Community Living services continue to rise in British Columbia while government struggles to balance the provincial budget. We remain committed to serving the communities in which we have established programs and take pride in developing new services in areas where gaps exist on a community or regional level. However, we are anticipating funding reductions once again this year. By diversifying our funding sources, we can continue to deliver the flexible and responsive services that our communities ask for. 

The need for individual programming dictates specialized funding assistance at many junctures. Examples include: creating more secure living arrangements for individuals by purchasing homes or apartment units, funding our transportation needs, employment services, additional life skills spaces, parenting support and other programs that bring meaning and autonomy to individuals with developmental challenges. 

Your support is valuable to us and has a direct and positive impact on the quality of life of our persons served. Thank you for your contribution!

posAbilities can be the beneficiary of insurance policies, demutualized shares, bonds, stocks, real estate and share purchases. 

A Pledge

You can designate donations to specific posAbilities programs over a long-term via a pledge and an initial donation. posAbilities will use these pledges to stimulate additional donations.  It is very valuable that an organization can predict its financial outcomes with a number of pledges because they are assured donations. Secondly, being a lead donor you can convince other organizations and individuals by example of the value of such a donation.

Capital pledges
