PG Community Foundation giving money to the community’s choice of charities

The Prince George Community Foundation (PGCF) was on the ‘giving’ end of Giving Tuesday this year.

For Giving Tuesday, the PGCF gave out a total of $18,000 to six different charities, each receiving $3,000.

They were divided into six different categories: Arts and Culture, Sports, Environment, Education, Health, and Social Services.

The PGCF then asked the community to decide which local charities would receive the money through voting.

The winners were:

• Arts and Culture – Prince George Cantata Singers
• Sports: Caledonia Adaptive Snowsports Society
• Environment: David Douglas Botanical Garden Society
• Education: Central BC Railway and Forestry Museum
• Health: Canadian Mental Health Association of Northern BC
• Social Services: Crisis Prevention and Information Centre of Northern BC
