The 360

The 8th edition of iA Financial Group’s Canada-wide philanthropic contest is open! To mark the occasion, iA will be giving out $500,000 in donations. 

This year, the contest is focused on supporting Canadian charities that work in the health, education, environment or social services fields and have a mission, or a component of their mission, which supports people struggling with social issues such as homelessness, food insecurity, dropping out of school, addictions, violence, mental health or isolation.
