Community Investment Fund

The Community Investment Fund is financed by a share of the Port’s annual net income that is dedicated to improving the quality of life for residents of the north coast. By investing these funds into community projects, led mostly by dedicated local volunteers, the Port has been able to share its financial success with the communities that enable it.

Since the Fund’s inception in 2009, over $10 million has been committed to the fund, helping over 70 local legacy projects come to life. Each of these projects has filled an important role in supporting sports, recreation, arts, culture, health, education, the environment, and other needs in the community.
