leave a legacy

As we approach 50 years of stewardship at Mossom Creek Hatchery, we are proud to introduce the Mossom Creek Endowment Fund—a lasting investment in the future. This fund offers our donors and supporters a unique opportunity to provide stable, long-term funding for our vital conservation and education initiatives. Our goal is to build a significant endowment through community collaboration, launching this initiative with an initial $10,000 contribution to the fund.

How Your Support Helps

The BIMES Endowment Fund will provide critical funding for:

  • Salmon habitat restoration and conservation projects.

  • Environmental education programs at our Learning Centre.

  • Ongoing hatchery operations to sustain wild salmon populations.

  • Long-term sustainability by reducing reliance on short-term grants and donations.

Launched in 2025 this fund is a legacy vehicle for donors who wish to make a lasting impact. The interest generated from the endowment will provide perpetual yearly income, independent of our regular fundraising cycles, allowing us to plan with confidence into the future.

ways to give

The Mossom Creek Endowment Fund welcomes a variety of gift options, including:

  • One-time or recurring donations through the Vancouver Foundation.

    Professional Management & Oversight

    The Mossom Creek Endowment Fund is professionally managed by the Vancouver Foundation, one of Canada’s most trusted charitable investment organizations. With over 75 years of experience managing more than 700 endowments, the Vancouver Foundation ensures that our fund is responsibly invested for sustainable, long-term growth.

    The Port Moody Foundation, a dedicated supporter of BIMES, lent a helping hand in our 2014 rebuild and our transition to a registered Canadian charity in 2015. Their continued partnership has been instrumental in establishing the Mossom Creek Endowment Fund, strengthening our ability to serve the community and protect the surrounding watershed.
