Matching success
Making a donation directly to a charitable organization is one of the most effective ways to make a difference in our communities. Through the Team TELUS Charitable Giving program, we encourage team members, retirees, Board members and TELUS service dealers to make charitable donations to the charities of their choice with TELUS matching dollar for dollar all donations to more than 50,000 eligible registered charities.
TELUS team members, retirees, Board members and TELUS dealers contributed $3.5 million to eligible charities in 2011, allowing us to give $7.1 million collectively to more than 2,900 charities across Canada:
- $3.54 million from program participants including team members, retirees, board members and TELUS dealers
