From its humble beginnings, the Foundation has really taken off, with donations totalling more than $3.5 million made to hundreds of organizations across Canada. In addition, the Foundation has established a non-expendable fund of about $1.0 million, which will generate additional revenues that can be redistributed to other organizations.<\/p>\n<p>I&rsquo;m very proud to have spearheaded this initiative 10 years ago, especially when I see the extraordinary involvement of all the employees who have organized more than 700 fundraising activities to date in order to give back to their chosen causes.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>We mustn&rsquo;t lose sight of the Foundation&#8217;s main objectives, which are:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; to give back in the communities where the AGF Group operates in Canada;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; to forge ties among the Group&#8217;s employees and partners;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; to generally contribute to the development of a culture of philanthropy.<\/p>\n<p>I feel very optimistic about the Foundation&rsquo;s future over the next 10 years, given the commitment and enthusiasm of its general manager, Catherine Gendron, and all of our ambassadors across the country.
