The 777 Foundation Society is a survivor-led, trauma-informed non-profit organisation in British Columbia. We design and deliver peer-led programs, legal advocacy support, emotional resilience activities, and outreach initiatives for newcomers and marginalized workers who are experiencing or at risk of systemic mistreatment.
Early-stage non-profit society in British Columbia · developing pilot programs and partnership models for 2026.
The 777 Foundation Society is a grassroots, survivor-led non-profit based in British Columbia, Canada. Our work focuses on trauma-informed, peer-led support and rights-based advocacy for newcomers and marginalized workers.
The Society was established in response to first-hand experiences of systemic mistreatment and gaps in support for newcomers and workers engaged with employment, human rights, and compensation systems in BC. Our mandate is to create safe, structured spaces where individuals can stabilise, understand their options, and make informed decisions about next steps.
All core activities are informed by lived experience, trauma-informed practice, and an explicit commitment to dignity, privacy, and non-exploitation of stories. The organisation aims to complement – not duplicate – existing legal, settlement, and mental health services.
The Society’s work is organised into four interconnected streams. Together they provide emotional stabilisation, system navigation support, and public awareness grounded in lived experience.
Facilitated, peer-led groups and support networks where individuals with shared lived experience can connect, debrief, and receive structured guidance. Sessions prioritise safety, boundaries, and practical problem-solving rather than unstructured disclosure.
Individual and small-group support focused on documentation, preparation, and navigation of legal and quasi-legal processes (e.g. employment standards, human rights, workers’ compensation). The Society does not provide legal representation but enhances readiness and system literacy.
Structured activities, reflective tools, and simple practices designed to strengthen coping capacity, restore a sense of agency, and reduce isolation during and after engagement with formal systems. This stream is delivered in coordination with, not in place of, clinical support.
Story-based outreach, community education, and awareness initiatives that highlight recurring patterns of harm and exclusion faced by newcomers and marginalized workers, with the aim of informing institutions, employers, and the public while protecting individual identities.
The Society’s approach combines survivor leadership, trauma-informed practice, peer support, and rights-based advocacy. This framework shapes program design, intake, facilitation, and evaluation.
Programs are intentionally small-scale in the pilot phase to allow for careful refinement and documentation before expansion or replication.
The Society works with anonymised, pattern-level information from participants’ experiences to inform program improvements, advocacy priorities, and outreach content. Individual stories are not published or shared externally without explicit consent and robust safeguards.
The Society is currently in a pilot and capacity-building phase and is seeking aligned funders, partners, and volunteers to support the development of sustainable program infrastructure.
Early-stage funding will be allocated to core infrastructure and program design, including: coordination capacity, supervision, interpretation and translation, materials, and participant supports.
Formal donation processing (e.g. Stripe / PayPal / CanadaHelps) is in development. At this stage, institutional funders and donors are invited to contact the Society directly to discuss funding mechanisms, reporting expectations, and alignment with their priorities.
The Society is establishing a small, stable cohort of volunteers and professional allies to support program delivery and governance.
Prospective volunteers and advisors are invited to share a brief overview of their background, area of expertise, and realistic availability.
Contact the Society →Transparency about governance and scope is central to the Society’s model. The organisation is intentionally clear about what it can offer and where it has limitations.
As the organisation progresses through its pilot phase, it will publish board composition, key policies (e.g. privacy, safeguarding, conflict of interest), and annual high-level impact summaries.
This clear scope is designed to protect participants, volunteers, and partners and to maintain realistic expectations of what the organisation can safely deliver.
For funding, partnership, or participation enquiries, the Society currently uses an email-first intake process to ensure privacy and appropriate routing.
In the initial message, individuals and organisations are asked not to include full names, addresses, or employer identifiers. A brief description of the situation, request, or proposed collaboration is sufficient for an initial response.
