Supporting the communities within which we work

At Visionvest, we believe in the value of philanthropy. Whether the need is at home or abroad we understand the value of thankfulness, appreciation, and giving back. All of us living here in Canada are blessed to live in one of the most stable, safe, and wealthy countries on the planet during one of the most stable, safe, and wealthy times in history. There are very few who have (or have had) it better than us. Ever! And so, we give back and we encourage you to do so as well. Below are some of our favourite charities…

 

The Machel Family Charity Fund

The Machel Family Charity Fund (administered by two Donor Advised Funds: Abundance Canada and the Strategic Charitable Giving Foundation) is a charitable fund dedicated to providing opportunities to the under-privileged in all walks of life.

Ratanak International As a Christian Charity, we believe that there is hope, even amidst the darkness of human trafficking and exploitation in Cambodia. We are working with Cambodians to restore those robbed of freedom and protect the vulnerable. Together, we see a future where every Cambodian can live in hope, freedom, and dignity.

Huntington Society of Canada: Family is at the heart of our community. Our families and volunteers tell a powerful story of caring people who pull together to improve the quality of life for Canadians impacted by Huntington disease (HD). HD is a fatal hereditary brain disorder with devastating effects on both the mind and body. It is like having the symptoms of Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and ALS all in one disease.

 

At IPC, we built IPC Cares to bring together the various efforts we make towards enhancing the communities within which we operate. By adopting causes that are close to our hearts, we keep ourselves committed and accountable.

Perhaps the most significant effort we undertake is the community development project in Honduras with The Carpenteros & Friends.

We also make countless small but significant contributions of our time and resources within our communities through many grassroots charities we believe in, and the ripple effect of their efforts is always rewarding.
