COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS

Bettering the lives of those in our communities is simply what we do, through partnership, volunteerism and leadership that makes a meaningful social impact.

Envision Financial is proud of its strong communities and continues to collaborate with local partners to support initiatives that align with our values and goals. As an organization, we have found alignment between our purpose and six Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) where we concentrate our efforts and support, with a focus on programming. Community Partners are asked to measure social impact with viable metrics for us to assess, adapt and evaluate our impact across the organization.

Through this work, we have identified our 4 areas of focus to be,
