We believe that as entrepreneurs, we have an obligation not only to our clients, speakers, staff and suppliers, but also to the communities in which we work and live.

That’s why over the years we’ve supported various charities and community organizations including the Special Olympics, Ontario Literacy Coalition, Children's Wish Foundation of Canada, Camp Trillium, Hospital for Sick Children, Mount Sinai Hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, Bloorview MacMillan Children's Centre, Ability OnLine, POGO (the Paediatric Oncology Group of Ontario), and the BC Children's Hospital.

We are currently very active with three exceptional charitable and non-profit organizations:

1. Free the Children

In 2007, we partnered with Free the Children, a children's charity devoted to providing education opportunities and reducing poverty in the developing world. We have adopted a village in the Maasai Mara region of rural Kenya, where many children live in extreme poverty and their families face significant life challenges.

We are proud to have raised enough funds to build a one-room schoolhouse, pay a teacher’s wages for a year, and construct a well to provide our community with fresh water. We have also raised enough funds to send all the textbooks and furniture needed at the school as well as $200,000 worth of medical supplies to “our kids”.

With the current world food crisis, the United Nations recently had to recently withdraw all funding for our village's food program. In 2009, we were able to raise enough donations to provide a lunch program to all students at our school for an entire year. This may be the only meal they eat a day, which also provides incentive for parents to send their kids to school.

We feel privileged and honoured to support Free the Children’s mission, which is to free young people from the idea that they are powerless to bring about positive social change, and encourage them to act now to improve the lives of young people everywhere.

2. Kiva.org

In 2008, we partnered with Kiva.org, the world's first person-to-person micro-lending website, empowering individuals to lend directly to an entrepreneur in the developing world. By combining microfinance with the internet, Kiva.org is creating a global community of people connected through lending for the sake of alleviating poverty.

We believe this is one of the best ways to empower our neighbours, giving them opportunities to become economically independent, improve their standard of living, and alleviate poverty for themselves and their communities.

To date, we have made loans to over 3,100 entrepreneurs in the developing world.

3. Pathways to Education

In 2009, we partnered with Pathways to Education Canada, a charitable organization created to reduce poverty and its effects by lowering the high school dropout rate and increasing access to post-secondary education among disadvantaged youth in Canada.

The Pathways to Education Program is a proven effective model, first created and implemented in 2001 in Regent Park by the Regent Park Community Health Centre. As a result of its ground-breaking achievements, Pathways is now expanding with local partners to five additional locations in Canada.

The Pathways to Education Program provides four key supports (academic, social, financial, and advocacy) to ensure that young people will successfully complete high school, continue on to post-secondary programs and become actively engaged in their career development. The program takes a holistic approach, ensuring that the four supports are delivered in a cross-communicative style and not in isolation.

When young people graduate, we all benefit. The Pathways to Education Program has proven to be less expensive and more cost-effective than most other programs available to disadvantaged youth. Ultimately, this translates into enormous savings in health care, correctional and social service expenditures.

We have set up a scholarship fund to help students graduate from high school, and enable them to continue their post-secondary education.

We feel honoured to make a difference through the work we do, and are excited that as a result of our relationship with you, we can help change the world both at home and around the globe.
