The Intact Foundation

We know municipalities play a critical role in protecting communities from the impacts of climate change.  And we want to help.  

The Intact Foundation 

  • Generosity — helping others, protecting the environment and making our communities more resilient — is one of the values that guides our work. We focus our generosity to help our communities in three areas where we can have the biggest impact: 
  •  Ensuring communities are climate resilient 
  •  Creating opportunities for children and families living in poverty 
  •  Supporting our employees to help others 

For more details on how we’re building resilient communities, please read our Social Impact Report

Municipal Climate Resiliency Grants

Municipalities play a critical role in protecting communities from the impacts of climate change. Intact Public Entities and the Intact Financial Corporation have invested $1 million in 10 communities across Canada to bolster resiliency where climate has the ability to have a negative impact. The selected applicants are implementing a variety of projects, including those that create a new wetland by engaging youth, offer FireSmartTM approved enhancements to at-risk homes, build fire breaks around vulnerable communities and provide advance flood prevention information to local residents.
