Mission and objectives
Since its very beginnings and as a corporate citizen, Ellipse Assurances has supported charities, non profit organizations, and various volunteer activities, as a means of helping to build a stronger community.
To perpetuate the values of its founders, to remain fair and transparent to the organizations it supports, and to give a regional flair to its causes, Ellipse Assurances started a foundation that meets its needs as a growing company.
To maximize its investments in the community, the Ellipse Foundation has chosen to focus on the following areas: youth, education and health.
The Ellipse Foundation’s objective is to give out a set amount of money each year, in the form of a donation from the company itself, but also raised through various fundraising activities organized by staff across the province. In addition to this financial support, the Foundation also does volunteer work provided by the employees of Ellipse.

Eligibility criteria
To qualify for the support of the Ellipse Foundation, an organization must be able to issue an income tax receipt, including detailed information about the donation received. For that reason, only requests from non-profit organizations or organizations registered with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) are considered.
Exclusions:
- Requests made by or on behalf of an individual or a family in need.
- Organizations that could present an ethical, cultural, security or environmental risk, or whose role or actions may conflict with the interests, reputation or objectives of Ellipse Assurances.
- Groups that discriminate on the basis of race, sex, disability, religion, nationality, or sexual orientation.
- Requests of a political or religious nature.
- Organizations perceived as being associated with the promotion of tobacco use, the manufacturing or distribution of alcohol, gambling, or any other activity that could be detrimental to public health and welfare.
- Groups with unjustifiable administrative costs, that serve a limited number of individuals, or that offer extremely limited benefits to the communities in which they operate.
Attribution rules
The Ellipse Foundation does not contribute more than once per 12-month period to the same activity or same organization. It avoids contributing to several projects that benefit the same organization, unless such projects benefit different communities, in different regions.
The Foundation will consider requests from NPOs in which Ellipse employees, or their family members, are personally involved, but the latter will not receive preferential treatment.
The Ellipse Foundation works with charities or accredited non-profit organizations with a concrete capacity to manage funds and produce reports on their results or achievements.
