Community

Employee Contributions

RBC employees, past and present, are a persistently generous lot. Through world wars and economic depressions, through natural and man-made disasters, through good times and bad, RBC people have given money and time to help their communities. RBC encourages voluntarism and employee giving, with some inspiring results.

Donations

* This includes funds raised through payroll, direct giving and employee fundraising events. RBC employees around the world also help raise funds for countless community groups in addition to United Way.

Volunteer Activity

The employees and pensioners of RBC are passionate volunteers. As financial services professionals, they share their valuable knowledge. They participate on not-for-profit boards and committees, provide money-management workshops, and share their budgeting and business planning knowledge.

We celebrate and thank our employees for all they do to build
strong, healthy communities. See profiles of some of our
employee volunteers.

Dollars for doers

Launched in 1999, RBC's Employee Volunteer Grants Program supports community involvement. Employees and pensioners who volunteer a minimum of 40 hours a year to a registered charity are eligible for a $500 grant to the organization in their honour.Many of these grants are applied to specific projects at smaller organizations that do not even have the resources to fundraise.

Since 1999, RBC has made 12,488 grants and donated over
$6.24 million to celebrate our employees' volunteer efforts.
In 2007, RBC provided 2,025 Employee Volunteer Grants to community organizations across North America.
