The Shewan Foundation Logo

Established in 2009 by Dougal Shewan, we are a private family foundation, located in the lower mainland of British Columbia. Our foundation’s work spans health and wellbeing services for children, teens and adults; community ministry; arts and education; animal welfare; and philanthropy.

As a foundation, we ensure a common direction and purpose - to create the greatest outcomes for the people, organizations and communities we serve. We champion a unique not-for-profit focus, inspired by our directors individual philanthropic passions. That’s why we have variety, passion and heart in all that we do. We all focus on ensuring our donations give wings to the inspiring new ideas, projects, campaigns and possibilities that our not-for-profit partners embark upon.

The Shewan Foundation is not like other organizations. We don’t seek fame, nor are we after headlines or awards. But we care intently. We care about the community, people and animals facing challenges in the lower mainland, every day, everywhere. That’s why you won’t find a mission statement. Instead our shared dream to simply give to those in need. Since our inception, we have donated over $2,000,000 across community minded projects, education scholarships, animal medical funds, housing facilities and hospital services plus plenty more inspiring enterprises . For us our dream is why we do the things we do. It’s our vision, our destiny, that great big reason for belonging.

We love what we do and have realized the amazing and limitless possibilities that are abound when we come together as family – as one. If you are interested in finding out more about our foundation or inquiries into sponsorship, please email info@shewanfoundation.com

Yours sincerely,

The Shewan Foundation
