In 1999 delegates to BCGEU's convention passed a resolution to establish the BCGEU International Solidarity and Humanities Fund.

Later, the fund was renamed the BCGEU Diane L. Wood International Solidarity and Humanity Fund in recognition of the international work done by former secretary-treasurer Diane Wood.

BCGEU contributes 25 cents per member per month to the fund to help support a number of projects and partner our organization with different unions, community groups and non-governmental organizations.
