Community
We’re committed to building a brighter future for our communities. Through donations and sponsorships, we support several local, regional and national organizations focused on youth, education, social justice and our environment. We donate a minimum of one per cent of average pre-tax profits to non-profit, charitable and community organizations each year.
Youth
We support organizations that provide hope and opportunity to vulnerable and at-risk youth, including Teen Challenge Canada and Phoenix Youth Programs, which support homeless youth with addiction counselling, life skills and budgeting, so they can re-engage in the community, return to school and/or find sustainable employment.
Education
Computers for Schools
Atlantic School of Theology
Social justice
United Church of Canada
The United Church works with long-standing local partners who have well-established and trusted distribution networks on the ground, including in remote communities. These partners work diligently to ensure the donations they administer reach the most vulnerable communities in the greatest need as quickly as possible.
Environment
Bullfrog Power
Climate change is one of the greatest challenges we face as a society today. National Wealth Management is partnering with Bullfrog Power, a Canadian green energy retailer that offers its customers power from renewable energy sources such as wind, low-impact hydro and green natural gas, to reduce or mitigate our greenhouse gas emissions.
