It takes just one person with vision, passion and courage to set the wheels of progress in motion. But it takes the commitment and effort of many to sustain the things that matter most and give meaning to our lives. That’s what inspires us to dedicate not only funding, but also our most powerful and valuable resource – our people – to improving the quality of life where we live and work.

Investors Group provides financial assistance to non-profit groups and organizations in which our employees, Consultants, retirees and their immediate families are involved as active volunteers and donors. We recognize the essential contribution our people can make to their communities and our programs aim to encourage and support this contribution through the granting of financial assistance. As the stories in this corporate citizenship report have shown, we support many different community needs in many different ways. What is common is the appreciation of the people whose lives are enriched by these volunteer and charitable efforts.
