We believe in supporting local non-profit and charitable organizations that serve the most vulnerable in our communities. We create capacity in the social sector by leveraging our financial strength and our social vision, Lead Well. Through Lead Well, employees volunteer their time and skills to help our communities flourish.
We’re committed to fighting food insecurity through our signature cause, Feed the Valley. Since 2010, Valley First and Enderby & District team members, members, and communities have raised over $3.19 million, the equivalent of 9.1 million meals.
Cancer touches many lives, including our colleague Lisa and her husband. With one in two British Columbians affected, we’ve committed $400,000 over four years to the BC Cancer Foundation through initiatives like the Workout to Conquer Cancer Challenge.
Established in 1996, the First West Foundation is our philanthropic partner and a federally registered charity. It has awarded over $12.6 million in grants, including $975,759 to 100 charities in 2024.
Working together
Our impact
The Matched Savings Program is a 12‑month program that helps you build financial skills while saving for your future. For every dollar you save, Launch Okanagan matches it 3:1, accelerating your progress toward education, business, or financial stability—with personalized support along the way.
Since 2019, Valley First has partnered with Purppl to deliver the Impact & Leadership Development Program (ILDP), a coaching initiative supporting non-profits and social purpose organizations. Through tailored 6‑ or 12‑month programs, ILDP has helped over 40 organizations across BC strengthen leadership, overcome challenges, and achieve lasting financial sustainability.
The Parent‑Child Mother Goose Program® brings parents and children together through songs, rhymes, and stories that build connection and early learning. With Valley First’s support, families enjoy a safe, welcoming space to strengthen bonds, connect with community, and access valuable local resources.
