“As a small local non-profit, we simply could not do what we do without the generosity of people like those at OSID. Your donation helped people get outdoors who may not otherwise have the opportunity to experience our beautiful trails, lakes and landscapes. It created brighter days, meaningful experiences and lasting memories for so many people.
Thank you for being the kind of people who believe that what we do matters.”

“In 2025, the Okanagan Society of Interior Designers generously donated the proceeds of their annual trade show to support mental health in our community. Their gift is fueling programs that provide resources and care when local families need it most. From walk-in counselling to housing services to wraparound care for youth, their investment is making a difference. OSID also took their commitment to mental health further, contracting our Community Education Coordinator to provide training for their members on how to navigate and manage stress and burnout. Thank you, OSID!”

“Having groups like OSID bring people together for Habitat for Humanity Okanagan is so important to our mission. Their donations contribute to something that has a lasting and directly support our work to create affordable homeownership opportunities here in the Okanagan. Thank you for being a part of creating homes where local families can put down roots and children have a safe home to grow up in.
We rely on our community to help make this possible, and we’re grateful to OSID for being part of that work.
Together, we build!”
