Partnering with our communities

At Loblaw Companies Limited, we want to be active within our communities – in fact, we view this as integral to the success of our business. We strive to be strong corporate citizens, and we commit to operating in a way which benefits the regions in which we operate, our employees and our stakeholders. Our operations touch almost every community across Canada and we take this responsibility seriously.

Our funding is driven by our Social Responsibilities, with a specific focus on the following identified key focal areas:

• President’s Choice Children’s Charity
• Healthy, Active Kids
• Feeding our Neighbours through the support of local food banks
• Greening our Cities through the support of local community initiatives
• Celebrating our Nation
• Colleague Volunteer Grant Program

President’s Choice Children’s Charity
One of Canada’s largest corporate charities, President’s Choice Children’s Charity is dedicated to helping children who are physically or developmentally challenged. Our aim is to remove some of the obstacles that make everyday living extremely difficult and to provide these young people with a renewed sense of dignity, independence and freedom. We provide direct financial assistance for mobility equipment, environmental modification and physical therapy. For more information on President’s Choice Children’s Charity, please click here.

Corporate Donations
Loblaw is committed to participating in our communities at the national, regional and local levels. At the Corporate level, we support non-profit organizations with mandates which complement our identified focal areas and which have a regional or national reach. For information on our giving guidelines, please review our Corporate Donations policy linked here.

Local Store Donations & Sponsorship
At the local level, our stores directly support the communities in which they operate. Requests that benefit the community and do not exceed $500 may be considered by the local store manager.

Corporate Sponsorship
At Loblaw, we consider sponsorship as an integral tool to involve ourselves with our customers and the communities in which we operate across the country. We welcome opportunities to partner with organizations, programs and/or projects that fall within our identified key focal areas or those that provide significant marketing value to our stores and/or brands.

Colleague Volunteer Grant Program
In spite of busy careers and family lives, thousands of Loblaw colleagues give generously of their time, talent and resources to support charities and non-profit organizations in their home communities. As a commitment to Making Loblaw a Great Place to Work, Loblaw strongly supports colleague volunteerism by providing funds of up to $500 to organizations actively supported by the volunteer efforts of our colleagues.
