Commitment to community has been important to us since day one
Community Giving
Serving the communities in which we live, work, and play has been a long-time commitment of the Belkorp team. Founded on the importance of community spirit and people empowerment, Belkorp has become a significant contributor to charitable causes in the British Columbia Lower Mainland and abroad. From donations and partnerships, to the establishment of community housing programs, our team believes in the power of community.
Belkorp and its employees have provided contributions for many decades to the United Way, the Boys and Girls Club, the BC Cancer Foundation, and the University of British Columbia, directly and through the Morris and Helen Belkin Foundation.
“We believe we can only be successful if we’re part of a successful community, so we need to be engaged with the community”
— Stuart Belkin, Chairman & CEO
Belkorp employees raised over $1M for
the United Way
Since 1995, Belkorp employees have supported the United Way of the Lower Mainland, collectively donating over $1,000,000 to this organization. These funds provide support for thousands of kids, youth, families, and seniors in need through their after-school programs, services for seniors, neighbourhood first initiatives, and others.
We are proud to do our part to foster thriving communities.
“We are proud to have 100% employee engagement, where all our employees donate”

Passion Projects
The Salvation Army Belkin House
A residential program facility in the heart of Vancouver dedicated to “breaking barriers – transforming lives”, the Salvation Army Belkin House is a place of healing, where the battle is fought against homelessness, hunger, and despair. The Belkin House assists the homeless and those at risk of homelessness, to become self-sufficient and independent through the reduction of physical, emotional, social, and spiritual barriers.
The Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery
“The Belkin”
Belkorp and our founders, the Belkin family, have been long-standing supporters of the arts. On June 14, 1995, the Fine Arts Gallery at the University of British Columbia was rededicated the Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery in honour of the Belkin’s tremendous support throughout the years. The Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery, “The Belkin”, is mandated to promote the understanding and discussion of contemporary art and issues in art history. The gallery is committed to a research mandate, an international perspective, and to the goal of fostering a civil society.
