Sustainable Community Grants: Each year, we invest a minimum of 2% (averaged over three years) of our pre-tax earnings to provide grants for community projects and programs that help to foster sustainable communities and neighbourhoods. There must be a strong fit with one or more of the following Guiding Principles: social inclusion; economic self-reliance; ecological responsibility; and community building.

Community Sponsorships:  Through community sponsorships, we support the fundraising efforts of our members, sponsor community arts and cultural events and community festivals, and make it possible for community organizations and individuals to attend community events they would not otherwise be able to afford.
