We support employees giving back to their communities. Through volunteering and donations, our employees have helped organizations and causes across our service areas. Together with our employees, we give about $190,000 to 160 charitable organizations each year.
Give where you live
We help employees’ donations go further with donation matching and top-up opportunities for the causes that are important to them. We top up employee donations to charities such as Warm Hearts Charitable Foundation and the United Way. We also offer donations to non-profit organizations for which our employees volunteer, and once a year FortisBC will match individual donations of $100 to $1,000 by 50 per cent to a registered non-profit organization of the employee’s choice.
Warm Hearts Charitable Foundation
Warm Hearts is our employee-run charitable organization, which supports the health and well-being of the communities close to the hearts of FortisBC employees. Since its inception in 1994, over $1 million has been donated by employees to charitable organizations throughout our service areas. Warm Hearts was founded and is still managed today by employee volunteers.
United Way
Employees support the United Way year-round through payroll donations, benefiting the United Way in their communities. The United Way addresses community issues of poverty and integration in children and seniors. They create and support initiatives including childhood nutrition, developmental and educational success, and senior health and independence and more.
