Donors

The Salt Spring Forum is a community organization generously supported by people who live here. Local volunteers help us to host events; local businesses and organizations support our work in a variety of ways; and, most crucially, many Salt Spring Island residents make tax-deductible donations to the Forum.

We are deeply grateful to all those listed below for the generous contributions they made to support our initiatives – as well as to the Salt Spring Islanders who chose to give anonymously. Their support allows us to bring world-renowned thinkers and leaders to Salt Spring while keeping our ticket prices and fees at break-even rates to include as many islanders as possible.

Thank you to our donors throughout 2025:

 We are very grateful to Ganges Village Marketplace and Island Savings for their generous sponsorship of our entire year’s programming.

In Addition donations from many individuals have helped us greatly.
