iA Financial Group Donates $500,000 to Canadian Food Banks

QUEBEC CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--iA Financial Group is pleased to announce a donation of $500,000 to Food Banks Canada. Since 2021, iA Financial Group has supported this Canada-wide charity, which aims to maximize the efforts of more than 5,500 food banks and community organizations. This donation from iA will support local food banks in helping people and families who need it most.

Currently, one in four people in Canada does not have sufficient access to food to reach their full potential. According to Food Banks Canada's 2025 HungerCount report, 2.2 million visits were recorded at food banks in just one month this year, twice as many as six years ago.

“At a time when so many Canadians are struggling with food insecurity, our commitment to supporting local food banks is more important than ever. As responsible corporate citizens, we are compelled to help these communities and create tangible impact. iA Financial Group is proud to partner with Food Banks Canada to assist the most vulnerable people. By working together, we can build a more united and sustainable future,” said Denis Ricard, President and CEO of iA Financial Group.

“We’re deeply grateful for iA Financial Group’s continued generosity and steadfast commitment to our vision of a Canada where no one goes hungry,” said Kirstin Beardsley, Chief Executive Officer, Food Banks Canada. “With nearly 2.2 million visits to food banks happening this month, double what we saw just six years ago, the need has never been greater. As we head into the holiday season, we are so appreciative of this donation as it will allow us to support people in Canada who need it the most and support our mission of relieving hunger today and preventing hunger tomorrow.”

This donation is part of a broader philanthropic program through which the company donated $11.4 million in 2025 to approximately 600 organizations working in education, social services, the environment and health care in Canada.

In addition, iA raised over $3.2 million for the annual United Way campaign, thanks to the tremendous generosity of its employees.
