At Ventum Financial, we are deeply committed to contributing positively to our communities and fostering a better future for all. The Ventum Foundation embodies our collective dedication to making a meaningful impact through focused philanthropy.
Foundation Mandate
The Ventum Foundation is mandated to collect funds and allocate them to vetted charities, adhering strictly to the rules and regulations set out by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). Our approach ensures transparency, accountability, and the effective use of charitable donations.
Ventum commits to contributing to the Foundation, utilizing a matching format at the national, branch-wide, and individual levels—empowering our teams and stakeholders to participate in meaningful giving and to amplify their impact.
Foundations in Canada, like the Ventum Foundation operate as registered charities and play a vital role in supporting a wide range of causes. By pooling resources and distributing grants strategically, foundations can sustain long-term initiatives, respond to emerging needs, and partner with community organizations to drive measurable outcomes.
Our Foundation operates with clear governance structures and is guided by principles of equity, stewardship, and community responsiveness. Whether through direct contributions, matching initiatives, or collaborative partnerships, we strive to foster an inclusive culture of giving across all levels of our organization.
In addition to our ongoing contributions through the Ventum Foundation, we are excited to offer paid volunteer days for all employees. This initiative allows every team member to take time away from work to support a cause close to their heart. Whether it’s lending a hand at a local shelter, participating in environmental clean-ups, or supporting youth programs, we believe in empowering our people to give back in meaningful ways.
