MAKING HOPE HAPPEN.
Scotiabank has constantly contributed financial and human resources to the improvement of societies worldwide. The Bank's contribution to charitable initiatives in Canada, ranging from health services, education, and social services to arts and culture, makes Scotiabank one of Canada's leading philanthropic donors. The Bank's employees are also leaders in community involvement and charitable donations which is reflected in Scotiabank's growing annual contribution to charitable initiatives. As one of Canada's largest philanthropic organizations, Scotiabank qualifies for Imagine Caring Companies status. This designation, established by the Canadian Centre for Philanthropy, recognizes organizations that donate at least one percent of domestic pre-tax profits to support domestic charities and non-profit groups.
Scotiabank's major support to United Way follows the Bank's community engagement philosophy. The Bank was recognized with the Spirit Award for Corporate Support (for an employee campaign of 10,000+ employees) and, apart from supporting United Way campaigns, sponsors the Scotiabank United Way Rat Race annually.
