The TEAL Charitable Foundation

The TEAL Charitable Foundation (TCF) was established by BC TEAL in 1986 and is registered as a charitable organization with Revenue Canada. TCF’s charitable status enables it to engage in fundraising activities. The Foundation supports the teaching and learning of English as an additional language by presenting a number of annual awards and scholarships each year. The TEAL Charitable Foundation’s awards and scholarships are funded through the interest accrued from the TCF endowments which are administrated by the Vancouver Foundation and annual fundraising activities.

TCF Awards for Refugees

The TEAL Charitable Foundation (TCF) is dedicated to promoting the teaching and learning of English as an additional language. Currently, the TCF is fundraising for awards for refugees who wish to study at post-secondary institutions. Over the years, many refugees have arrived in Canada from war-torn countries, have missed critical years of education, and have not had the financial resources to study at a post-secondary level. The TEAL Charitable Foundation established an award program for refugees in 2012 in order to provide financial support for refugees in need who wish to study at post-secondary institutions in BC. Over the years, the TCF awards have provided many refugees with the opportunity to not only study at post-secondary institutions but also make a real and lasting difference in their lives and their futures.
