Giving back to our communities

CG Gives Back

At CG, we are committed to fostering an inclusive, supportive, and entrepreneurial environment, both within our firm and in the broader community.  
  
We are particularly focused on helping underserved women get access to the support and resources they need. 

Up With Women Partnership

In 2023, we formed a new year-round philanthropic partnership with Up With Women to help at-risk women and gender diverse individuals build prosperous careers and businesses with the aim of permanently exiting poverty. Our financial support will help 20 women across Canada, in British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario, and Quebec, in their journey from low income and risk of homelessness to building sustainable careers and a pathway out of poverty.

CG Wealth Advisors Give Back

CG wealth advisors across Canada are committed to giving back to their communities. Our advisors donate thousands of hours, resources, and support to these meaningful causes.
