Equity
2023 at a Glance
It’s been an exciting year. With new leadership at the helm and a renewed strategic plan to guide our journey, the core of what we do remains unchanged. Every day, we are advancing financial literacy and education by mobilizing funding for innovative community grants and supportive student scholarships.
The theme for our year is Empowering Equity. As you read through the stories featured here and throughout the 2023 impact report, we hope it will become clear why we chose this phrase to summarize 2023.
Community Needs
We distributed $350,000 in community grants, more than 75% of which supported initiatives primarily serving equity-seeking groups. This funding is advancing initiatives that centre the diverse lived experiences of Albertans — from helping new immigrants navigate unfamiliar Canadian financial systems to supporting Indigenous students in healing their relationship with money.
Diversity in Finance
We introduced four new student scholarships that address a shared goal across the investment industry: increasing diverse representation in the workforce. Through awards that support gender diversity in finance and Indigenous inclusion in business, we are funding solutions that start long before recruitment.
It all adds up
Thanks to AIMCo’s Global Technology and Data team, sustainability and creative problem-solving combined to supercharge employee fundraising. Since their conceptualization in 2018, the Technology Buyback program and tech donations to the Foundation’s silent auction have officially mobilized more than $100,000 in employee contributions.
Empowering Equity
It is our privilege to share these stories and we hope they mean as much to you as they have to us. Our profound gratitude goes out to the inspiring community partners, passionate volunteers and steadfast supporters for their ongoing commitment to empowering prosperity in Alberta.
