Creating opportunity through education

“I found the Wealthsimple Foundation shortly after my family and I moved to Canada. The team provided information about everything I needed to know about setting up our RESP and RRSP accounts. They also provided a free live session for my Instagram community of newcomers to Canada. I’m grateful for the Foundation and they ensure newcomers have access to everything they need to know about building wealth long-term.”

“I had the privilege of attending Wealthsimple Foundation Day, and it was an event that truly exceeded my expectations. As a long-time Wealthsimple user, I’ve always been passionate about their mission to make financial literacy accessible to everyone. The event provided a unique opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals from diverse backgrounds while exploring essential financial topics. The workshops on money mindset, budgeting, and credit offered fresh insights and strategies that helped deepen my understanding of personal finance.”

“The collaborative approach and creative freedom when working with Wealthsimple Foundation have allowed me to engage with the community on financial literacy in meaningful ways. The impact on FBC members and myself has been amazing, from opening RESPs for students to bridging gaps through in-person workshops. Wealthsimple Foundation is truly making a positive change!”

“The success of the Toronto Community Housing – West team’s TRUE VISION career Development & Youth Employment program is mainly due to the massive contribution of the Wealthsimple Foundation. The flawless and impactful delivery of the program’s financial workshops by the teams professionals stand out in my mind. Wealthsimple Foundation’s sponsorship of TCHC’s Career Day trip to McMaster University for our youths really demonstrated their commitment to community growth and development, and we are proud to them as a solid community partner.”

“Wealthsimple Foundation is working towards designing solutions and products specifically for youth by having youth at the centre. Through their partnership with Emerging Youth Consultancy (a youth-led advisory firm), they have been able to utilize youth feedback through their strategies and iterations of product design. They truly champion youth voice at a foundational level.”

“I joined Wealthsimple Foundation as an intern through their partner, The MINA Project. The MINA Project focuses on addressing the skills, opportunities, and network gaps by providing access to opportunities for BIPOC high school students. During my time at the Foundation, I had the opportunity to work on multiple projects and teams to explore my interests and test my abilities. I learned so much from everyone on the team, and I feel excited and prepared to start university!”
