Community Investments

 

Our community investment partners have the insight on what is needed to drive progress against societal and environmental challenges and opportunities. We believe that community investment partners have the ideas to make that change happen, and at RBC and RBC Foundation*, we know that investment in these organizations can help make a difference in turning ideas in to action. This is why RBC, RBC Foundation and RBC Foundation USA, are proud to be making a commitment of C$2 billion in community investments by 2035. Together with our community investment partners, we can unlock talent and entrepreneurial spirit, and power collaboration to help drive positive impact.

*Collectively referred to as “we” or “our” on this page

Making a difference where it’s needed most

 

At RBC Dominion Securities, we know that “community” is something we all create. As individuals, families, businesses, and partners, our contributions to our community come back to us in spades, and enrich the lives of everyone in our region. We are always involved in activities, events, and causes that benefit Ottawa. Here are a few of the organizations we support.

Dress for Success Ottawa

Dress for Success Ottawa empowers women and gender nonconforming individuals to achieve economic independence by providing a network of support, professional attire, and development tools to help them thrive. Since opening our doors in January 2011, Dress for Success Ottawa has supported thousands of women in the community and empowered them to realize they are valuable members of our community with a lot to offer potential employers. Dress for Success Ottawa suits women, from the inside out.

Intl. Day of Pink

International Day of Pink has one purpose, to create a more inclusive and diverse world. We do this by encouraging young people to challenge social norms, ask more of their educators, and stand up against bullying towards their 2SLGBTQIA+ peers. Over the years we have worked with countless educators, politicians and organizations around Canada to spread this message and create young activists for this mission. We hope to continue this work and reach more communities with every passing year. We can only do this with your support and involvement. So please consider sharing our work, wearing our merch, donating to our cause, and joining our movement in any way you can.
