TELUS Funding For Charities

Does your registered charity help young people fulfill their potential with socially innovative programming or new uses for technology? If so, we have much in common. Because at TELUS, we invest in charities that help to educate and empower youth to improve their quality of life and to enable them to reach their full potential. These investments, disbursed by our local TELUS Community Boards and Community Action Teams, are the cornerstone of our community support in Canada and internationally.

• Programs are chosen that best meet our funding guidelines and that clearly demonstrate the following criteria: focus on youth; demonstrate social and/or technological innovation in program delivery; fit one of our funding pillars: arts and culture, education and sport, or health and well-being in our environment; defines and measures outcomes.
• Kindly note that the maximum investment our Community Action Teams will consider is $5,000 operating and capital costs directly associated with program delivery are eligible for support, including salaries or space dedicated to a program. Ineligible operating costs are those which support the charity as a whole including utilities and overhead salaries. community foundations are eligible for funding only if a specific program managed by the foundation fits within existing funding guidelines. Support for a capital campaign or general donation is outside of funding guidelines and therefore ineligible
• Organizations and programs that would be considered ineligible for a Community Action Team donation: religious or sectarian organizations (except where they represent non-denominational community and social support services); advocacy or special interest groups in-kind donations such as local or long-distance telephone services, or reduced telecommunication rates goodwill advertising, travel expenses, field trips, tours, ticket purchases, retroactive requests, conferences, seminars, workshops, beauty pageants, funding for individuals, wilderness adventure activities, or events and activities that take place outside of Canada
