Assumption Life Foundation
The Assumption Life Foundation upholds the objective of supporting education put forward by Assumption Life’s founders. Every year, our foundation awards at least 13 scholarships of up to $10,000.
The Assumption Life Foundation also allocates 1% of the year’s profits to educational projects and organizations whose initiatives relate to education, entrepreneurship and work skills acquisition.
Since its beginnings, the Company has granted over $4 million in donations and scholarships.
Scholarships and Donations
Corporate Sponsorships and Donations
Our objective is to ensure the equitable distribution of approved funds to encourage our community’s development. Assumption Life reviews sponsorship and donation applications based on the nature of the activity and the Company's philosophy, allocation criteria and available budget.
Preferred areas of activity
The Company gives preference to the health and education sectors. We have been supporting cancer research for a number of years under the auspices of the Atlantic Cancer Research Institute. In so doing, we hope to assist in winning the battle against this terrible disease that has touched nearly all of us in some way. We also support initiatives that promote a healthy lifestyle among our youth.
Donation or sponsorship requests are fulfilled in the form of either money, the exchange of services or promotional items.
Difference between sponsorships and donations
Sponsorships are promotional tools used by the Company to reach growing markets among designated client groups and to build bridges with the communities in which we operate.
In contrast, when the Company makes a charitable donation, it does not seek any visibility in return.
