Announcing a NEW NAME!

May 10, 2019

You might have already seen the new name come up on social media, but we wanted to share what is behind this change. Change is good. It means we are stretching and growing. Change means we are listening to what is and anticipating what will be.

We sometimes proclaim our aspirations to be change makers and that also means embracing change ourselves. That said, you don’t throw out the baby with the bathwater, there are things we are keeping and sticking to.

IDENTITY: We are staying true to our identity, which is why we have updated our logo only slightly to reflect the name change. We feel grounded in who we are as an organization and therefore did not believe our visual logo needed much of a change.
TRANSPARENCY: Our website is getting a new look! Coming very soon, stay tuned for updates. The reason behind the new look is a belief in transparency and open communication on the work we do. Ultimately, we fund projects we hope will have a positive impact on the lives of people in British Columbia. There is a level of accountability that comes with it.
INTO THE FUTURE: If you follow us, you probably heard Bob Conconi speak about his vision of collective impact beyond a single person or an organization. The word Family in our context goes beyond the family members with the same last name. Conconi Family Foundation includes the extended family of community organizations, funding partners, trusted advisers, people and organizations we work with and will work with, in the future. It is a collective and something bigger than a single name.
