Friends of Vela

Vela Microboard Association would like to thank all of those individuals, groups and organizations that have so generously donated their time or funds.

In these busy times, we know that making time to volunteer and/or finding the funds to donate can be a challenge. We are very grateful to the Individuals that have generously helped through time and money to build our organization and strengthen supports to Vela Microboards.

Vela is also very appreciative of our funders and many sponsors. Without their funding we could not support new, developing Microboards nor would we be able to continue to reach out to offer information and educational opportunities to B.C.'s existing Microboards.

CLBC Logo

Community Living B.C. - Vela Microboard Association of B.C. gratefully acknowledges CLBC for the ongoing funding support enabling us to continue to provide assistance to B.C.’s Microboards.
 

The B.C. Gaming Commission - Vela Microboard Association is appreciative to the B.C. Gaming Commission for funding provided through Bingo revenue. These funds have enabled Vela to provide supports and services to individuals and groups that do not fit the mandate of CLBC.
 

Vancity Community Foundation - Funding was generously provided by Vancity Community Foundation to allow Vela to successfully work with the Family Leaders project, developing community leadership skills within a variety of parent groups throughout B.C.
 

Foundation LogoLaw Foundation - The Law Foundation or B.C. provided a grant enabling Vela to develop a plain language guide to policies, procedures and statutes that can affect Microboards. This has been an extremely valuable tool in our supports to Microboards.  We are very appreciative for the funding support.
 

Vancouver Foundation - Vela has received two grants from the Vancouver Foundation.  The first grant was for a three-year project enabling Vela to reach out to other communities that had not accessed Vela Microboards as a support option.  With this funding we were able to create community partnerships and successfully support a number of people that would not have had the opportunity to develop Microboards without the support of the project. This funding started a legacy of support to people outside the CLBC mandate. The second grant, for two years, was in conjunction with the Vancity Foundation funding.  Through this project we were able to assist provincial family leaders to network, advocate and negotiate for a community driven service process.  Vela, the individuals and families we support are appreciative for funds provided to both projects.
 

Kal Tire - Vela would like to thank Kal Tire for financial support.  As a result of their generous assistance we have been able to help many individuals with special needs in B.C.
 

Tri-R Electrical and Mechanical Services - Vela would like to thank Tri-R Electrical and Mechanical Services for their donation of a digital camera. This camera will assist Vela in recording Microboard events, and gatherings.
