We're looking for our next Grant Committee Chair of the Port Coquitlam Community Foundation Board (3 year Term)
Are you an experienced leader with a passion for community impact? Do you bring strategic insight and collaborative leadership? The Port Coquitlam Community Foundation (the foundation) is seeking a new Chair of the Grants Committee to guide the granting process for the foundation.
The Port Coquitlam Community Foundation is a registered charity that connects donors with local initiatives to enhance community well-being. Through grants, partnerships, and leadership, the foundation supports charitable causes and community programs in Port Coquitlam.
The foundation is committed to building a diverse board that reflects the community it serves. We welcome applications from racialized, LGBTQ+, differently abled, and gender-diverse Canadians, First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples, as well as youth 18 years of age or older who live or work in Port Coquitlam.
The Grant Committee Chair (“Chair”) plays a vital leadership role in overseeing the Port Coquitlam Community Foundation’s (PCCF) grant making process. The Chair ensures that all grants, scholarships, and bursaries are reviewed and awarded in a fair, inclusive, and transparent manner, in alignment with the Foundation’s mission, values—including trust-based philanthropy—and fund agreements. This role involves facilitating committee meetings, overseeing funding recommendations, and maintaining clear communication with both applicants and the Board of Directors throughout the grant cycles. In addition, the Chair leads the planning and execution of Celebrate PoCo—the Foundation’s annual event recognizing grantees and celebrating community impact.
