about us

Established as a not-for-profit corporation and registered as a charitable organization in August 2013, our mission is: "To help our youth create their future and improve the lives of those in need."

Barbados Canada Foundation raises funds:
  • To advance education by providing publicly available scholarships, bursaries and other forms of financial assistance to students of Barbadian heritage to be used for post-secondary education. 
  • To promote health by providing medical equipment and supplies to hospitals and public health facilities in Barbados for the public's benefit and use.
  • To gift funds to qualified donees as defined in subsection 149.1 (1) of the Income Tax Act (Canada).
  • To undertake activities ancillary and incidental to the above-mentioned charitable purposes.

We manage the BCF Scholarships Program, which grants scholarships to students of Barbadian heritage pursuing post-secondary education at Canadian universities or colleges.

We support healthcare initiatives through:
  • donations of medical equipment and supplies to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Barbados; and 
  • donations to other Canadian registered charities.

Operated entirely by volunteers, Barbados Canada Foundation is committed to contributing the maximum amount of each donation received to the charitable causes it supports.
