COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP
Creating capacity and bettering lives in our communities.
We believe in supporting local non-profit and charitable organizations that serve the most vulnerable in our communities. Through Lead Well, our social vision, we encourage our employees to volunteer with local organizations in the social sector to help our communities thrive.
TOGETHER WE CAN END CANCER
We are proud to announce a new two-year partnership with the BC Cancer Foundation with a total investment of $200,000.
We know this is near and dear to our employees, members, and communities when 1 in 2 British Columbians are impacted by cancer— this alarming statistic tells us the need is immense and the time to act is now.
Our partnership will involve employee engagement and activation for several of BCCF’s initiatives throughout the year as well as dedicated funds going towards the greatest areas of need across the province to help advance research and innovative care.

HOW WE HELP
Our employees spent 1,054 hours helping those in need and building our local communities in 2021.
The Full Cupboard—our signature cause program—raised $260,351 in 2021, equivalent to 520,702 meals for British Columbians.
First West Foundation, the credit union's companion charity, has been working to create resilient and resourceful communities since 1996.
COMMUNITY CREW
We have paused the Community Crew program due to Covid-19 restrictions. Our youth ambassadors will be out in the community as soon as it is safe to do so.
The Envision Financial Community Crew is a youth ambassador program designed to develop leadership skills and provide an opportunity for students to act as role models while giving back to our local communities. Throughout the year, our team of enthusiastic high school, and university students attend your favourite local community events, and offer free activities such as face painting, play giant jenga, give out fun items, and more. In addition to this, during the summer each Crew member has a unique volunteer placement with one of our non-profit partners.
For more information on the program, please email community@envisionfinancial.ca.
