Mackenzie: Investing in people and communities across Canada

Mackenzie Investments is committed to the communities that we all live and work in from coast to coast. But commitment requires more than words, and since 1999 the Mackenzie Financial Charitable Foundation has reached out to the needy and most vulnerable among us. It may mean providing a hot breakfast for a child in the inner city, or helping to fly a sick child for medical attention to a distant city. In all, in 2011 the Foundation made financial grants to 32 charities across Canada. "Philanthropy has always been an integral part of our organization and we donate more than $1 million annually," said Charlie Sims, President and CEO of Mackenzie Investments. "But the best part of our community service is the volunteer time freely given by our employees. Together we are making a difference in the lives of thousands of families."
