ABOUT US

WHO WE ARE & WHAT WE DO: The Abbotsford Police Foundation (APF) is a registered charity that helps AbbyPD achieve their goal of making Abbotsford ‘The Safest City in BC’ in four key ways:

Investing in our Youth
Building Positive Relationships
Connecting Police with the Community
Funding Engaging Programs.

WHY IT MATTERS: Growing communities like ours face enormous pressures on available resources at the very time they’re needed most. AbbyPD cannot directly receive financial contributions; however, the APF provides a trusted, practical way for you to support the work of the dedicated AbbyPD team members and help enhance public safety in Abbotsford.

WE ONLY FUND ABBYPD INITIATIVES: Each grant funding request we receive begins as an idea from an AbbyPD member, and must be approved by the AbbyPD Chief Constable before coming to the APF board for consideration.

YOUR GENEROSITY AT WORK: The APF relies solely on the generosity of individuals and organizations to fund impactful AbbyPD initiatives that strengthen community safety, invest in youth, and connect with community. Every dollar raised stays in Abbotsford, directly benefiting programs that support our youth, build positive relationships, and enhance community well-being. Your support is an investment in a safer, stronger future for Abbotsford.

OUR HISTORY

Founded in 2005 by community leaders Jack Robertson, Dave Kandal, and Spud Murphy, the Abbotsford Police Foundation was established with the belief that a strong, safe community requires personal investment. The founders dedicated their time, energy, and financial support to ensure the Abbotsford Police Department had the necessary resources to fund community programs and initiatives beyond the operating budget.

As we celebrate our 20th anniversary, we proudly reflect on two decades of raising funds to support these vital programs and initiatives that strengthen the relationship between the Abbotsford Police Department and the community it serves. Thanks to the commitment of our founders and supporters, we continue to fund projects that directly benefit Abbotsford’s safety and well-being.
