The 12 finalist charities for the fifth edition of the iA Financial Group philanthropic contest have been chosen! Each charity has the chance to win a major donation of $100,000 to support a project that promotes the health and wellness of children under 18. The public has until November 30 to go to donations-contest.ia.ca and vote for the projects they find most inspiring.

When voting closes, $500,000 in donations will be made among the 12 finalist charities. Four donations of $100,000 will be made to the charities that receive the most votes in the contest’s main geographic regions*, and eight donations of $10,000 will be made to the remaining finalists. iA Financial Group’s 8,000 employees will also vote on their four favourite charities, which will each receive an additional donation of $5,000. The winners will be revealed the week of December 6.
