Hbc Foundation
The Hbc Foundation is a leading charitable organization dedicated to improving the lives of Canadians through programs that reflect our distinct Canadian values. Each
year, by working closely with local and national organizations across the country, we will invest more than $10 million towards three key areas:
- Building healthy families
- Creating strong communities
- Inspiring Canadians
Building Healthy Families
Hospitals and health care services are at the heart of every Canadian community. The Hbc Foundation supports local hospitals, oncology
centres, hospices, and organizations such as Look Good Feel Better, Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation and the Quebec Breast Cancer Association, just to name a few.
Hbc and its associates are also very proud of the difference they are making in the lives of those with cystic fibrosis. Since partnering with the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation in 1985,
the Hbc Foundation has donated more than $25 million to help find a cure or control for cystic fibrosis, the most common, fatal, genetic disease affecting young Canadians.
Creating Strong Communities
We believe that Canada’s ongoing success must be built on the foundation of healthy, vibrant communities. That’s why the Hbc Foundation donates to
programs working to ensure the well-being of Canadians, such as the Canadian Red Cross Disaster Relief efforts. As well, each Bay, Zellers, Home Outfitters and Designer Depot store is partnered with a woman’s shelter in its community.
The Hbc Foundation also works closely with the Canadian Women’s Foundation to support over 200 violence prevention projects from coast to coast.
Inspiring Canadians
The key to Canada’s future lies in connecting with, and inspiring, all Canadians. This is why the Hbc Foundation supports programs that encourage future generations to achieve great things, to get involved in their local community, and to learn the value of our Canadian heritage.
From programs like Historica Fairs, that teaches kids to explore our history in a dynamic, hands-on learning environment, to organizations like Commonwealth Games Canada, that supports and promotes our Canadian athletes, Hbc is committed to help empower Canadians to take an active role in building our country.
