The Tribune Bay Outdoor Education Society is a non-profit Society and can offer charitable tax receipts for donations to our Centre. Donations can be cash, stocks, bequeaths or equipment.

Our Society is committed to offering quality, affordable, outdoor education programs for youth. We currently have almost 3000 young people come through our Centre a year, and we subsidize the real cost by our fund-raising. For income, we count on a small contribution from School Districts 69(Qualicum) and 71(Comox Valley), government grants, user fees income, as well as foundation and private donations and grants. The breakdown of our annual budget is: School District contributions 11%, User fees 50 %, Government grants, other grants and private donations 35% and other income 4%.

Our annual appeal for grants and donations makes us spend an incredible amount of administration time looking for and applying for extra funds. Help us redirect our energy of looking for money and put it toward developing more programs for the youth, improving the program equipment and keeping our rates affordable.... by you making a one time or an annual donation of funds that would help keep our budget balanced.

We do welcome donations of any amount, your contribution will help our Society do what we do best...offering an incredible experience to young people (often many times to the same youth over their school years), to help them discover more about themselves, their peers and the environment.
