Accessing Support
Investors Group is committed to supporting grassroots programs that benefit local communities directly and with immediacy. In many cases, corporate participation through the Investors Group Community Investment Program comes as a natural extension of associations involving our Consultants, especially as community volunteers. Hundreds of community organizations receive support in any given year.
