National Bank will donate $1 million to support several community organizations that help vulnerable people across the country. These organizations have to quickly respond to increased demand resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. The funds will be distributed to a number of food banks from coast to coast, two organizations that support women in vulnerable situations, and the Canadian Red Cross campaign.
Members of the public can also make a donation to the Canadian Red Cross campaign using the organization’s online platform. National Bank credit card holders can use their rewards points to make a donation on the Bank’s à la carte rewards online platform.
