2023 Impact Grant

Giving back is a foundational element of Ecclesiastical’s values. We continuously strive to demonstrate a lasting commitment to helping communities in need.

Each year we offer an Impact Grant to a Canadian charity who makes a positive and sustained difference in their community. The 2023 recipient of this grant is Covenant House.

Covenant House serves ‘youth who are homeless, trafficked or at risk’. They offer more than just shelter and a hot meal; they provide life-changing care with unconditional love and respect. For over 40 years, they have supported more than 100,000 young people, and our Impact Grant will help save the lives of more youth in our communities.

We are proud to award this grant in support of the Covenant Houses in Toronto, Ontario and Vancouver, British Columbia.
