Community Investment guidelines
Community Investment guidelines
We thank you for the work you do! We know that there are so many people and organizations that make a measurable difference across Western Canada. However, we also know that we can’t support every initiative with our limited budget. Therefore, our team at Finning Canada carefully selects the programs and investments that best align with our community investment priorities to help make our communities a better place to live and work. We receive numerous requests each year and we try to support as many organizations as possible but due to increasing demand, we are able to fund only a small number of the requests we receive.
Investment Priorities
While Finning Canada does sponsor events and is active across our region in many ways, our community investment funding is for charitable and non-profit requests only. All requests through our Community Investment Application Form must be from a registered Canadian charity or non-profit organization and correspond to one of our three pillars.
Advancing STEM and skilled trades education and outreach
Increasing social equity among disadvantaged groups
Supporting strong and resilient communities
Eligibility Criteria
Finning Canada will give additional consideration to organizations that support the following:
- The Finning Canada geographic area where we live and work (British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Yukon and Northwest Territories)
- The involvement of Finning Canada employees as volunteers or where we have the potential for participation
- Programs that demonstrate measurable social impact
Finning Canada will not support the following types of requests within its community investment program:
- Religious organizations
- Political organizations
- Individual sport teams or professional sports teams
- Service clubs
