FR Arbor Memorial Foundation Helping others and giving back The unprecedented crisis of COVID-19 has had significant ramifications felt across our country. There has been an increased demand on food banks and other social services in communities throughout Canada. Please consider joining us to help. About the Foundation The Arbor Memorial Foundation is a charitable vehicle for Arbor employees to donate monies to registered charities that are of significance to them. Annually, our employees volunteer hundreds of hours of their time and raise funds for worthy causes. Now, through the Arbor Foundation, Arbor employees are able to request financial support for the communities where they live and work. Funds are raised through Arbor’s annual campaign run by employees. All monies raised pledged by employees are matched by Arbor Memorial Inc. Special event committees and various branches organize events to assist with fundraising efforts. When determining how Foundation funds will be distributed, the focus centers on senior services, local community facilities and groups, as well as disaster relief. While we consider national organizations, such as, Heart and Stroke, Children’s Wish, etc., the primary criteria will focus on the local community that our employees and facilities serve. This will allow for an increased presence and awareness of our funeral homes and cemeteries and a way for employees to give back to the organizations they are involved with. Twice a year we ask employees to suggest relevant causes in their respective communities. Those groups that are looking for support must be a registered charity. Requests for donations submitted by employees are reviewed and considered by a volunteer committee made up of Arbor employees. They then meet to determine how the funds will be distributed in the most appropriate and fair manner. Due to overwhelming demand from charitable organizations, only requests for donations submitted by employees will be considered for distributions from the Foundation.
