MONTRÉAL, Nov. 28, 2024 /CNW/ - Dollarama (TSX: DOL) and The Rossy Foundation are pleased to announce a national charitable giving initiative in celebration of Dollarama's over 30 years of serving Canadians.

With the input of Dollarama employees nationwide, The Rossy Foundation has directed $30 million in donations to 25 charitable organizations active in Canadian communities from coast to coast to coast.

The 25 charitable organizations were selected for their important contributions to Canadians' lives and Canadian society across four pillars of action, including:

  • Meeting urgent needs, such as food security;

  • Promoting positive development by supporting children's mental health and school readiness;

  • Caring for communities through environmental education and action; and

  • Inspiring excellence in areas such as athletics, education and entrepreneurship.

Dollarama employees helped determine the allocation of the funds by voting for the organization of their choice from among those active in their region.

The funds will be used by the selected organizations to improve the quality of their services, scale the reach of their programs and launch new initiatives. This support comes at a critical time for many charities, which have faced record levels of demand for services in recent months.
