In 2009, the local Portuguese Canadian community welcomed IC Savings into its community. We remain honoured by its confidence in us as its financial partner.

This community is an important part of our success and Fundo de Apoio IC Savings is intended to help us achieve our mission of building value for our members and the communities where they live and work.

Through this support fund, donations and grants will be made available to registered local charities, community groups and associations that are committed to enhancing the Portuguese Canadian footprint in the Greater Toronto Area through direct-impact and community-based programs and services.

Please note that details of our 2019 funding cycle are expected to be published later this fall. Please check back in later September for this update.
