Supporting communities
At Zurich, we are committed to supporting the communities in which we live and work
Caring for our communities
In Canada, Zurich supports eight core charities in addition to over 30 local non-profits, aligned under three key areas:
- United Way and children’s hospitals across Canada
- Health, welfare and social services for children
- Educational institutions and programs
Taking action and creating impact
We support these organizations through three key initiatives:
Volunteering
Zurich Canada’s employees donate their time and talent through a variety of events and activities. Our employees not only participate in Zurich’s signature volunteer programs, but also lend their skills and subject matter expertise to help non-profits.
Employee giving
Employees give generously throughout the year with individual donations at special events and fundraisers such as our annual “A Time For Giving” campaign. Employees also donate in-kind items for drives and fundraising events.
Corporate giving
Zurich provides funding to non-profits that fit our giving philosophy, are located in cities where our company has a presence and have Zurich employees actively involved as volunteers. Zurich Canada also offers employees a matching gift program where we match employee contributions to qualifying non-profits, up to a specific amount per year.
