Powered by purpose
At TELUS, we put community funding in the hands of local leaders who know how to best allocate it. Learn how we are making a difference where we live.
Connecting youth to a world of opportunities
Every year, TELUS Friendly Future Foundation® supports more than 500 local charities across Canada that provide youth with the support and resources they need to learn, be creative, innovate and stay healthy, opening new worlds for them to thrive.
Funding our communities
At TELUS, we understand that each community has unique needs. That’s why we offer funding that drives meaningful change in communities across Canada and globally.
Team member giving
Each year, TELUS volunteers collectively donate over 1.4 million hours to help the communities where we live, work and serve.
Let’s make back to school brighter with Kits for Kids
For many families, back-to-school costs are increasingly unaffordable. Since 2006, TELUS has provided free school supplies and backpacks to families in need through our Kits for Kids programme.
Each backpack contains a pencil case, colouring pencils, HB pencils, blue pens, erasers, a flexible ruler, exercise books, loose-leaf papers and a TELUS colouring book.
This year alone, we’ll distribute 19,000 kits to kids across Canada.
Supporting our most marginalized
Our Mobility, Internet and Tech for Good programs are helping over 400,000 people in Canada — including youth leaving care, low-income seniors and families, and people living with disabilities — access free or subsidized internet and mobility services.
Our impact adds up
Our vision to connect all Canadians for good and enduring commitment to give where we live has made TELUS the most giving company in the world.
