VANCOUVER OPERA FOUNDATION The Vancouver Opera Foundation is committed to financially supporting the operations and special projects of Vancouver Opera through its attainment, establishment and management of permanently endowed funds. The funds invested in the Vancouver Opera Foundation are presently valued at more than $14 million. The Vancouver Opera Association wishes to extend a special thanks to the Vancouver Opera Foundation for its extraordinary support and generosity. Contributions from the Vancouver Opera Foundation continue to be fundamental to ensuring the fiscal health of the Association and for this we are truly grateful. This thanks is extended to the many, many generous donors that have chosen to build the Foundation’s endowed funds and take an interest in the long-term future of opera in our community!
