For Investors Group, our long heritage of grassroots involvement, corporate funding, and project initiation by many of our people has created a strong corporate culture of caring for our communities. We have a long history of attracting people who are ambitious and people who care for those they serve, which translates into a deep interest in community needs. When you combine these characteristics, you end up with a strong sustainable focus on corporate citizenship.
Investors Group is committed to making a contribution to the many communities across Canada in which we operate by supporting local and national activities, events and organizations. In doing so, we hope to help our communities be more dynamic and interesting places to live and work:
In 2008, more than $6.1 million was donated, with over 2,600 donations going to over 1,600 organizations.
Our commitment to volunteerism includes:
encouraging volunteerism through our Volunteer Support Program, and promoting personal financial participation through our Matching Gifts Program. Investors Group matches qualifying gifts made by Consultants, employees, retirees and directors to eligible registered Canadian charities on a dollar for dollar basis.
