Along with a notice that the foundation is now accepting applications for grants, bursaries and scholarships, the foundation announced it recently created the new Coquitlam Foundation Community Fund (CFCF).

In addition to its own foundation-directed funds, the Coquitlam Foundation manages 21 donor-advised funds on behalf of various groups, families and individuals. Its total endowment is now more than $2.5 million.
