Empowering
Resilience
2025 at a Glance
Resilience grows when people have the knowledge, confidence and support to make informed financial decisions. Across Alberta, the AIMCo Foundation for Financial Education helps strengthen that resilience by funding community-based financial empowerment programs and scholarships for students pursuing formal finance education at Alberta post-secondary institutions. Through this work, the Foundation extends AIMCo’s long-term commitment to Alberta by expanding access to practical financial learning, strengthening financial well-being and helping more Albertans build secure futures.
The theme for our latest year is Empowering Resilience. As you read through the stories featured here and throughout the 2025 impact report, we hope it will become clear why resilience is central to the Foundation’s work and the impact of financial education across Alberta.
Building Resilience
In 2025, the AIMCo Foundation distributed $350,000 in community grants supporting 21 financial literacy and education initiatives. These programs help Albertans build knowledge, confidence and practical skills to navigate financial decisions and create more secure futures.
Expanding Access
The Foundation welcomed five new community partners in 2025, extending support into rural and remote regions and to underserved populations. This expanded reach reflects the Foundation’s commitment to ensuring practical financial education is available to more Albertans, in more communities, at more stages of life.
Partnering for Impact
Polar Asset Management’s multi-year partnership shows how sustained corporate support can translate into lasting community impact. As part of more than $300,000 contributed by corporate partners in 2025, Polar’s support helps provide the stable funding the AIMCo Foundation needs to deliver consistent community grants and scholarships, giving Alberta organizations and students greater certainty as they build financial confidence and resilience.
Powered by People
The AIMCo Foundation Granting Committee shows how volunteer expertise helps turn generosity into meaningful community impact. In 2025, committee members contributed their time, judgment and perspective to review applications, assess community needs and help direct Foundation funding to organizations delivering practical financial education across Alberta. Their work is part of a broader volunteer effort, with more than 60 AIMCo colleagues supporting the Foundation’s governance, strategy and operations.
MAKING A DIFFERENCE
We are grateful to be on this journey with the donors, community partners, students and volunteers who reinforce every day the immense value of financial empowerment for Albertans. Thank you for an incredible 2025, and we look forward to all that the year ahead will bring.
