Movement for Good

Through our Community Impact Grant program, we are proud to offer our Movement for Good campaign – an annual grant program designed to support Canadian charities making a positive and lasting impact.

We administer the grants under the auspices of our charitable trust owner, Benefact Trust.

In 2023, we were excited to offer 125 grants, each valued at $1,000 to registered Canadian charities.

We want to help you make a difference in your communities, and each year we welcome applications from all types of charitable organizations.
