Community Investment

		CIBC is committed to investing in community initiatives that matter to our clients, employees and communities. Our goal is to make a difference in our communities by strengthening them both through our significant financial contributions and by supporting the passionate volunteer efforts of our employees.

CIBC invested more than $38 million in contributions to over 1,900 organizations in 450 communities. This represents 1.4% of the rolling five-year average of our pre-tax profits – exceeding the 1% benchmark for corporate giving established by Imagine Canada.

Our focus
Under our three areas of Kids, Cures and Community, we are striving to make a significant social impact on key priority issues important across Canada, while still being responsive to local community needs.

By focusing on Kids, Cures, and Community initiatives, locally and nationally, our goal is to make a real and tangible impact through corporate donations, sponsorships and the volunteer spirit of our employees.

• Supporting the charitable and not-for-profit sector in Canada
