Grant and Funding Programs Offered by Deloitte Canada

Deloitte Canada is the Canadian member firm of the global Deloitte network and the largest Canadian‑owned and operated professional services organization. While its primary activities are advisory, audit, tax and consulting services, the firm also plays a notable role as a discretionary funder through corporate philanthropy, sponsorships and strategic partnerships. Across its purpose and impact priorities—Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Accessibility (DEIA), sustainability and climate, Indigenous reconciliation, and broader social impact—Deloitte Canada directs financial resources, in‑kind expertise and pro bono services to community organizations, charities and Indigenous initiatives throughout the country.

The firm’s community engagement model emphasizes volunteering, workplace giving and pro bono advisory projects to support non‑profits working in areas such as accessibility, poverty reduction, health care, refugee support and environmental education. These efforts are complemented by cash contributions and sponsorships that help partner organizations expand their programs and reach.

Under its DEIA and reconciliation commitments, Deloitte Canada supports organizations serving equity‑deserving groups and Indigenous Peoples. A prominent example is its multi‑year sponsorship agreement with Indspire, an Indigenous national charity. Through this partnership, Deloitte commits annual funding to Indspire’s programming, including the Indspire Awards, youth empowerment gatherings and additional scholarships delivered through the Building Brighter Futures scholarship program. The firm also collaborates financially and strategically with partners such as Lime Connect, CNIB and the BlackNorth Initiative, combining donations, sponsorships and pro bono work.

In sustainability, Deloitte invests in community initiatives related to climate action and the circular economy, while mobilizing its people through the Green Champions Network to participate in local environmental projects. Its Indigenous Reconciliation Action Plan further guides support for Indigenous‑led economic empowerment, education and employment initiatives, sometimes in partnership with Indigenous‑owned enterprises and community organizations.

Deloitte Canada’s funding and support primarily target non‑profit organizations, Indigenous communities and youth, equity‑deserving groups, and education‑focused initiatives. By blending monetary contributions with advisory expertise and employee volunteerism, the firm seeks to strengthen organizational capacity and create long‑term social and economic benefits across Canada.

Although Deloitte does not present itself as a traditional grant‑making foundation with open calls for proposals, its structured sponsorships, scholarships delivered through partners, and recurring community investments function as de facto funding programs. Organizations typically engage with Deloitte Canada through partnerships, sponsorship arrangements and collaborative projects aligned with its purpose priorities and impact strategy.
