Help us support our community
What We Do
Pooni Group Foundation (PGF) is a non-profit organization that supports stronger communities. We lend our support to local charities, schools, and other non-profits – through fundraising, working with various boards, and connecting groups with levels of government. Each member of the Pooni Group team works with a local non-profit, and PGF continues to grow its regional community impact. Some of the initiatives we have been part of include: fundraising for village improvement projects in rural India; funding high school and post-secondary scholarships and awards; board involvement in BC-based charitable organizations; supporting cardiac care in our hospitals.
