50 Grants to 50 Charities

2022 marks the 50^th anniversary of Ecclesiastical in Canada.

To honour this milestone occasion, our employees have selected 50 charities from across the country to be awarded grants through the Community Impact Grant program.

The Community Impact Grant is our signature Canadian giving program and we administer the grants under the auspices of our charitable trust owner, Benefact Trust.

From our employees...

"Rainbow Railroad has helped over 1,600 LGBTQI+ people safely relocate, but many more need help. LGBTQI+ people around the world still face harassment, violence, discrimination, and persecution. With a Community Impact Grant, they would be that much closer to reaching their goal."

-Amanda Smith, Business Associate at Ecclesiastical

"The Urban Native Youth Association has a wide range of programs for youth ranging from education, health and wellness and housing."

-Sylvia Leong, Casualty Claims Manager at Ecclesiastical

"I know firsthand, as a prior "Big Brother" myself, the impact this program has on youth. Big Brothers Big Sisters has a very good reputation in helping youth with struggles and adversities in their lives."

-Chad Greene, Team Lead, National Data Support at Ecclesiastical

"Food insecurity has increased during COVID-19, its important for everyone to have access to a healthy warm meal thanks to Edmonton Meals on Wheels."

-Seija Lamminen, Risk Control Specialist at Ecclesiastical

"The Refuge is one of a small handful of charities focused on the homeless population in Oshawa and I commend their focus the support they provide to homeless youth in particular."

-Graydon Ritchie, Human Resources Coordinator at Ecclesiastical
