Investment Partners
Meet our investment partners
The United Church of Canada Foundation is grateful for the partnership of several financial companies and organizations that help us transform your gifts into meaningful, sustainable support for the United Church of Canada.
The Foundation has independently developed a series of Socially Responsible Investment Policies that enable us to make investments into organizations that align with the values and mission of the United Church. We work with our partners to ensure that our investments are always at least 96% compliant with these policies.

Partners for church organizations investments
Investing independently of the Foundation is a great way to ensure that your investments closely align with a belief or mission that is special to your congregation or organization. However, finding worthwhile investments with values that align with your own can be challenging, especially for smaller groups.
We are here to help! The Foundation has partnerships with Canadian investment firms that will be able to assist you in building your investment portfolio.
