COMMUNITY IMPACT

We’re committed to fighting food insecurity through our signature cause, The Full Cupboard, local partnerships, and community programs. Since 2013, Envision Financial team members, members, and communities have raised over $1.66 million, the equivalent of 3.3 million meals. Our team members support this effort by volunteering, running food drives, and raising awareness to strengthen community well-being.

Cancer touches many lives, including our colleague Lisa and her husband, who both faced the disease and emerged with a renewed appreciation for life. With one in two British Columbians affected, we’ve committed $400,000 over four years to the BC Cancer Foundation, supporting research, innovative care, and team engagement through initiatives like the Workout to Conquer Cancer Challenge.

Established in 1996, the First West Foundation is our philanthropic partner. As a federally registered charity, it supports communities through grant-making and partnerships with local charities via four community endowments—Envision Financial, Enderby & District Financial, Island Savings, and Valley First—and 14 named endowments across B.C. Since inception, it has awarded over $12.6 million in grants, including $975,759 to 100 charities in 2024.

Mackie’s Place currently empowers over 50 at-risk youth each month through their incentive-based Job Skills Program. This program offers pre-employable youth hands-on training, mentorship, and real work experience, all designed to equip them for employment beyond Mackie’s Place.

Each participant works toward earning funds for essentials they need, such as clothing, bus passes, or other personal items. Mackie’s Place is committed to going above and beyond to ensure youth have the support and resources they need to grow, succeed, and flourish.

By supporting Mackie's Place, Envision Financial is investing in the future of our community and helping young individuals achieve their potential.

The Ronald McDonald House BC & Yukon Family Room is a comforting, home-like space located within Surrey Memorial Hospital, designed as a peaceful retreat for families with children receiving medical care. It offers a place to rest, recharge and stay close to their child’s bedside without leaving the hospital environment. Amenities include comfortable seating, kitchen facilities, food, quiet space, private sleeping areas, showers and laundry facilities.

At Envision Financial, we believe that feeling supported and cared for is an important part of health and wellness. That’s why we’re proud to support the Ronald McDonald House BC & Yukon Family Room by helping provide nutritious meals, so families have the strength and sustenance they need to be there for their child.

Whether you’re there for a short visit or a longer stay, the Surrey Family Room is a welcoming space for all families with a child under the age of 18 receiving treatment at Surrey Memorial Hospital.

Since 2015, 124 people ages 16 to 69 have completed, Community Leaders Igniting Change (CLIC) a grassroots community leadership development program for people living in South of the Fraser neighbourhoods, with participants contributing to the learning, cultural and inspiring collective experience of others.

To further engage the community, CLIC partnered with the Self Advocates of Semiahmoo. These local advocates facilitate inclusive work with people with developmental disabilities. As a result, six members of the Self Advocates of Semiahmoo have completed the CLIC program.

Following their program involvement, CLIC participants receive support through a SPARK grant to create and activate neighbourhood and community events.
