Sun Life has a long-standing focus on community wellness. We invest in initiatives that encourage healthy and active living in our communities, as well as help create a more inclusive society. To this end, we partner with charitable organizations that align with our corporate giving strategies. Our goal is to make not just a donation, but also a real difference. We do this by harnessing the full breadth of our resources, including our people and expertise, to generate a positive impact.
Sun Life’s philanthropic giving in Canada focuses on two health causes: the prevention of type-2 diabetes, and the promotion of youth mental well-being. Within each of these health causes, we support philanthropic programs which:
- Focus on serving a youth demographic between the ages of 7 and 24 years old.
- Take a prevention-based approach to improving health outcomes and focus on helping young people to adopt positive behaviour changes.
- Offer practical programs with a structured learning curriculum.
- Focus on serving those most in need, particularly those from marginalized and underserved communities.
