Canadian charity, managed entirely by volunteers who are employees of the
Mackenzie Group of Companies.
Our objective is to further Mackenzie’s leadership among Canadian
companies in community involvement and charitable giving, and to provide
our employees with opportunities to become more involved in the community.

Giving Guidelines
The Foundation supports charities with a focus on:
Social well-being and welfare in Canada, particularly for the benefit of underprivileged challenged, and sick children, youth and young adults, with a special focus on children and youth at high risk.
The Foundation carefully reviews the following factors when making its granting decisions.
- The objective of the charity. The Foundation focuses its grants primarily on social service organizations with a focus on children and youth, especially those at risk.
- The size of the charity. The Foundation focuses primarily on small-to-medium sized charities.
- The funding sources of the charity. The Foundation tends to support charities which receive the majority of their funding from private sources (i.e. individual donors, foundations, corporations).
- The geographical focus of the charity. The Foundation supports organizations which focus their charitable activities primarily in Canada.
- The individuals or entities that receive support from the charity. The Foundation supports only those organizations that are inclusive in nature and does not support organizations that exclude on the basis of race, gender, religion, nationality, or sexual orientation.
- The ability of the charity to provide volunteer opportunities for Mackenzie employees.
