Community Involvement

Vancouver Foundation

“Matt Hill is man with extraordinary vision, but even better, he is a man who puts his dreams into action!

After a year long odyssey of running 11,000 miles and reaching out to 30,000+ kids at 200+ events, Matt and his R41P partner Stephanie had the foresight to turn their incredible journey into something more. In 2009, they established the Run for One Planet Legacy Fund as a permanent endowment fund at Vancouver Foundation. They’ve created a lasting legacy that provides annual support to eco-projects at schools that are imagined and carried out by kids, and also leadership opportunities for youth to facilitate peer education on environmental stewardship. Matt is making a difference in our community, and Vancouver Foundation is proud to be in partnership with him!”
