The Board of Indus Foundation is made up of dedicated volunteers who are committed to supporting the needs of the communities we serve. It is comprised of visionary individuals from all backgrounds who contribute to our vision, mission and strategic plan of Indus Community Services.

The board is a governance board and provides leadership and oversees the fundraising initiatives of the organization. The board does not manage the day-to-day operations of the organization. Directors are asked to support fundraising efforts both personally and within their networks.

Indus Community Services is an accredited, non-for-profit community benefit organization that has served local communities for 40 years. The agency is a registered charity supported by its donors and by all three levels of government. Indus, through its professional staff of 140+ personnel, are leaders in providing culturally appropriate services to newcomers, families, women and seniors. Learn more about Indus here
