Guided by incredible support from our employees and partners, our charitable arm, the Western Financial Group Communities Foundation, has been caring for the places where Western staff live and work now for 19 years. Our not-for-profit provides us an avenue to give students a financial hand up via bursaries, support community infrastructure by way of grants and be ready to help in times of crisis.
The Foundation has been aided by tremendous generosity, which has allowed us to raise over $3.6 million to support the Canadian communities we serve. You’ve seen our experts walking in our annual 5 km National Walk to Support the Cause and fundraising in our 184 branches across Canada.
Your generous support for our Stronger Together campaign has allowed us to raise $35,000 for our Western Financial Group Communities Foundation! Whether it’s our Foundation helping our youth community leaders pursue post-secondary education or by upgrading the local rink, we will use your contributions to help build vibrant and strong communities for years to come. Thank you.
Learn more about our Foundation or donate to our non-profit yourself through your local branch.
Together we make our communities stronger.
