Our Funds
"Your support has undoubtedly made a difference in the lives of many children and families in this community. Thank you."
Kimberley Johnson, Gordon Neighbourhood House
We place a special focus on financial support for vulnerable children and youth. The Business Objects Foundation funds educational and technology programs for young people with two main goals:
- Make a difference in our communities
- Help employees learn about challenges facing children and youth
Our Focus on Children and Youth
Since 2002, more than 121 grants have been made in Canada, the United States, France, and the United Kingdom. Employee leadership makes them happen. Over 80 employees around the world volunteer on the Business Objects employee grant teams. They review funding applications, conduct site visits, and make final grant recommendations to a group of senior executives on our foundation board. In each major center, the work of our foundation is guided by a community foundation partner. Our thanks go to the Vancouver Foundation, Community Foundation Silicon Valley, and Berkshire Community Foundation for their guidance.
Our Grants
From science education to speech therapy, our grants are as diverse as the employees who nominate them. The Business Objects Foundation has been active since 2002.
