Choose your charity
Last updated on January 13, 2026Provincial Employees Community Services Fund (PECSF) organizes charities in two ways available in 29 regions throughout B.C.:
- Fund supported pool: charities that have been selected based on specific criteria by members of a PECSF regional committee to receive a portion of each region’s pooled funds. To learn more, please review PECSF charities
- Donor choice charities: any CRA registered charity an employee would like to support
PECSF donors can choose up to 10 charities to support at one time.
Employees making a donation can select a regional fund supported pool or their own list of charities, but not a combination of both.
All charities must be registered with the CRA.
Option 1: Fund supported pool
A pool of locally screened charitable organizations where individual chapters or programs have applied for and been approved to receive a portion of funding by a local PECSF regional committee.
These organizations are required to report out annually on the status of their approved program to continue to receive funding during each 3-year funding cycle.
Option 2: Donor choice charities (choose your own)
Choose any CRA registered charity in good standing. Funds can be directed to a specific location or program. Any CRA registered charity can be chosen as a donor choice charity, including any that are also currently included in a local fund supported pool.
To find registered charity name and registration numbers, visit the CRA website or contact PECSF for assistance. PECSF ensures each charity is in good standing with the CRA prior to sending funds.
If your charity is no longer in good standing or has closed, you'll be contacted and your current donation held until you allocate the funds to another organization.
PECSF by region
To find which PECSF region your city falls under, either scroll down or enter your city name in the search field.
Regions with current fund supported pools will also include a PDF where you can learn more, including which organizations are currently receiving funding.
