Money Mart’s contribution to the community goes well beyond providing convenient financial services to the customers who live, work or shop in the area – our involvement includes investing resources in support of the communities themselves.
By sponsoring numerous community programs, organizations benefiting the well-being of children, charities supporting health care, environmental protection initiatives and amateur sports teams, we are actively doing our part to benefit the community – and encouraging our employees to do the same.

National Money Mart Company is a proud supporter of Junior Achievement of Canada. Our 2010 donation will support three projects that show our commitment to financial education and literacy. In British Columbia our donation helps to support the Economics for Success program for 8th and 9th grade students, which is centered around career planning and personal finance choices. In Toronto, we donated to support the Dollars with Sense program for grade 7 students, to improve their financial literacy. In addition, Money Mart sponsored two deserving high school students to attend the 2010 Next Generation Leaders Conference in Kingston, Ontario. The conference is an international gathering of top students who have business and leadership aspirations.
SUPPORTING FINANCIAL LITERACY
Money Mart offers a limited amount of grant funds to support and promote local financial education programs. The "mini-grants" are designed to support community-based financial literacy projects that respond to an immediate need. If you know of an organization doing notable financial outreach in your community, please contact the Consumer Education Department at Education@moneymart.ca We'll be happy to send them one of our application packets as a first step to determining if we can support their public service efforts.
