People & possibility
Supporting individuals and families with the resources, confidence, and connection to shape their own futures.
A foundation for good
The Arthur Skidmore Foundation helps create the conditions for people and communities to thrive — with care, courage, and a belief in what's possible.
Rooted here.
Open to all.
Why we exist
We believe lasting change is built through relationships — by listening closely, showing up consistently, and sharing opportunity. The Foundation supports people and organizations doing meaningful work across Vancouver and beyond.
Our role is simple: to make room for possibility. We provide thoughtful support to the people closest to the challenges, because they are closest to the solutions too.
Where we focus
Small acts of support can become big shifts in a life, a block, and a city.
Supporting individuals and families with the resources, confidence, and connection to shape their own futures.
Backing local leaders and grassroots organizations building more welcoming, resilient neighbourhoods.
Investing in ideas that make Vancouver a healthier, more equitable place for generations to come.
Let's connect
Whether you have a question, an idea, or a shared hope for our community, we'd love to hear from you.
