Rethinking Corporate Philanthropy – Innovations and Insights from Sylvia Bosa, Bosa Properties Foundation and Bluesky Properties Foundation

Community Building 101

Aside from providing a place for people to live and appealing architecture, what do developers do for the communities they’re building in? What can any business do to ensure they are maximizing their effect on the communities they serve?

Sylvia Bosa, Executive Director of the Bosa Properties Foundation and BlueSky Properties Foundation, will teach us how to avoid offering Band-Aid solutions and address root causes relevant to our community and create sustainable impacts focusing on local issues. She will provide insight and experience in taking the community’s lead to better the lives of vulnerable people.

Sylvia will speak about how the family’s companies, developers Bosa Properties and BlueSky Properties, established the Foundations as a way to give backto the community. Sylvia will discuss how to incorporate giving into your business by building on your core strengths, and how a little strategy and resourcefulness can go a long way.

Sylvia Bosa Bio

Sylvia Bosa is the Executive Director of the Bosa Properties Foundation and BlueSky Properties Foundation, formed in 2012 on behalf of Bosa Properties and BlueSky Properties, together one of Canada’s most respected and innovative development firms based in Vancouver. The Foundations were established as a way for the companies to give back in the communities in which they build. A portion of the profits from every home is contributed back to the community to create high impact, collaborative projects addressing children, youth, and food issues.

The Bosa family values have always included gratitude and helping others. Sylvia’s two inspirations include her aunt, whose lifelong work included caring for others, and her father, Robert Bosa, whom introduced charitable giving to all of his children from a very young age.

Sylvia received a Bachelor’s Degree in Home Economics - Textiles + Design, from the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences at the University of British Columbia.
