We ask each program to provide us with a progress report every six months. If they are achieving the results they set out to achieve, we will consider their proposal for a second year's funding. Our involvement with these community-based programs doesn't stop with a cheque. This was their first opportunity to gather together a valuable experience for all. In some companies, administering grants and donations can be fairly routine.
Requests come in, cheques go out.
And we certainly have some of that at Royal Bank. We're also responsible to our employees-and seeing that this is the International Year of Volunteers, I would like to say that Royal Bank employees are some of the most generous people I have ever met, with both time and money. Before I conclude, I want to leave you with a few thoughts on the need to be seen as a good corporate citizen. Increasingly, corporations are recognizing that it's not enough to do good, you have to make your stakeholders aware of it. At Royal Bank, our problem is that at heart, we're still very traditionally Canadian.
