Our commitment to giving back
While volunteering our time is important, we also recognize that non-profits rely on financial support to carry out their essential work. Ontario Teachers’ employees have supported community causes through an annual employee giving campaign for over 30 years.
Through OTPP Cares, our employee-led giving program, we now offer open choice giving opportunities on a global scale, expanding from our previous Canada-based, single-beneficiary program. This year, approximately 74% of employees donated more than $825,000 to more than 500 local and global causes across 22 countries during our annual giving campaign. In 2024, more than 500 employee volunteers dedicated their time at local organizations and for important causes. From sorting food at a food bank in Toronto; to renovating a park for toddlers in London; to organizing a food drive for seniors in Hong Kong, our global offices gave back to their communities and supported important causes in 2024.
"In 2024, our teams continued to give their time and funds to help address areas of heightened need in the communities in which we live and work. Through our Make a Mark Day volunteerism program and employee-led “OTPP Cares” giving program, we are pleased to do our part to drive meaningful change in our communities."
