What is Deaf Community Foundation of BC?
The Deaf Community Foundation of B.C. (DCF) is a private community foundation which became incorporated in 1999 to hold money for safekeeping and earning for the British Columbian Deaf Community. Located in Vancouver, the Foundation’s priorities are to support and encourage the development of projects that are of benefit to Deaf British Columbians (DCF sees Deaf people as Deaf, Hard of Hearing, or Deaf-Blind individuals who use sign language as their main method of communication and who identify themselves with the Deaf Community). Funded activities often provide a service straight to the community, or take a new approach to a community concern. The Foundation is directed by an elected Board of Deaf Community members.
