Giving to their communities is an important part of life at KPMG. Their people are committed to supporting organizations and institutions in need and it's more than a desire to contribute, the Foundation believes it's their responsibility to help and to play an active part in communities across Canada.
The KPMG Foundation acts as a catalyst in the mobilization of KPMG and its people in giving to their communities. More than providing an avenue for giving, the Foundation helps drive KPMG's mission to be a socially-responsible and civic-minded organization and promotes a culture in which their people thrive personally and professionally. In addition to providing grants to post-secondary institutions across Canada, The KPMG Foundation supports a wide variety of activities by operating Canadian charities. The Foundation focuses their support on activities relating to healthcare, children and youth needs, communities, and the environment, although grants to organizations in other fields are made.
