Giving Back
Force Four Entertainment believes in sharing our success with others in our local community, and around the world. These are some of the charities who have personally inspired us to support them with our time and money:
PLAN (Planned Lifetime Advocacy Network)
is an organization that helps families ensure a good life for their family member with a disability by building support networks. PLAN was featured in Force Four’s award-winning documentary, The Ties That Bind.
The Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation
supports families who continue to fight for better treatments and a cure for Cystic Fibrosis. Our connection follows our work on the award-winning documentary, 65_RedRoses.
The Last Door Addiction Recovery Centre
has been providing its services to adults and youth for close to 30 years. Last Door is well known and respected in the Drug and Alcohol Addiction Treatment field and recently received the Association of Substance Abuse Programs of BC Award of Excellence in Addictions.
Movember Canada
is responsible for the sprouting of moustaches on thousands of men’s faces, in Canada and around the world. With their “Mo’s”, these men raise vital funds and awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer and male mental health initiatives.

is a children’s sport charity that assists financially disadvantaged families with the costs of organized sport registration fees. With chapters in over 180 communities and 11 provinces/territories,KidSport annually gets over 50,000 Canadian children off the sidelines and into the game.
Force Four provides local High School Student Scholarships that are given to graduates who have shown personal perseverance while also reaching out to provide assistance to others in need in their community.
For these two charities we offer a matching program, where the company donates an amount equal to that raised by employees and freelancers:
SHARE Family & Community Services Society
is a non- profit, independent, community based organization providing food bank programs in response to the social needs of the residents of the Tri-Cities communities in the Greater Vancouver area.
The Christmas Bureau
