Community Leadership at Manulife Financial - 2010 Honouree Award - The Learning Partnership

Manulife focuses its corporate philanthropy on non-profit organizations that support community service, champion youth initiatives and foster health and wellness. Last year, Manulife donated $25 million to over 600 non-profit organizations around the world, with over 15,600 Manulife employees and agents donating 74,000 hours of their time to charitable organizations in their communities. Some of their projects supporting youth and education include a partnership with The Learning Partnership's Welcome to Kindergarten™ program in Canada, which provides pre-school children (and their families) with preparatory resources and experiences to begin their formal education with a foundation in early learning nurtured in the home; contributions to Breakfast for Learning, a national organization that provides nourishment programs for school-age children; and the Manulife Send 'Em Smiling program, which provides backpacks filled with new outfits, shoes and school supplies to children who need them.
