As the holiday giving season approaches, please remember the BC Historical Federation (BCHF) in your charitable giving plans. We are 100% volunteer-run and every dollar you donate goes to one of our three main activities. 

(1) The British Columbia History magazine is produced four times per year and 

If you donate $50, that will buy one hour of copy-editing time.  If you donate $500, you will help cover the design costs for one magazine issue. 

(2) The BCHF awards program contributes to prizes for the best historical writing, storytelling, and preservation each year. We also award scholarships to emerging scholars studying history in BC’s post-secondary programs. 

If you donate $100, you will help support and recognize individuals and groups working to preserve, research and share BC’s history with the public. 

(3) The BCHF’s Centennial Legacy Fund supports community historians uncovering the diverse cultural, artistic, genealogical and geological history of BC. Last year, the Centennial Legacy Fund helped to support small, local projects on Pender Island, in Barriere, and near Grand Forks. Often, Centennial Legacy Fund grants are used as seed money for larger research grants and leverage support from bigger funding agencies. 

Please consider giving what you can.  We need your help to continue our work!
