Social responsibility

Social responsibility is important to us, so we’ve created the Northbridge Cares program. Our goal is to help Canadian children and youth reach their full potential. We do this by contributing 2% of our pre-tax profit to meaningful causes.

Each year, Northbridge Financial employees come together to raise funds and awareness for six charitable partners. We also expand our roster to include four additional charities that champion important causes. Northbridge proudly double matches all employee donations to our Give Together campaign.

We’re proud to collaborate with six charitable partners whose missions align with our focus goal to create a positive impact in the lives of children and youth within our communities. For details on how we support causes beyond our charitable partners, please read our latest Public Accountability Statement.
