Partners
Collaboration
The Brier Island Foundation is set up to support the local community! This includes partners who are already working on the ground to do good work on the Island. We have formally established partnerships with some of the leading organizations on Brier Island and will continue to build local connections. It is our role to support and raise the profile of these local organizations and to support them in their work. We are also open to helping new initiatives get off the ground that are of interest to the community.
