Community Involvement

Mandate

Savanna is committed to giving back to the communities in which we live and work by supporting a variety of charitable organizations, with an emphasis on those charities that are important to our employees and customers. This support can be in the form of money and/or time.

Donation Guidelines

Each year, Savanna management sets a budget for Corporate donations. Determining which organizations receive our support is based upon whether or not they fit into the following areas of focus:

• Health (eg., hospitals, STARS)
• Social & Welfare (e.g., food banks, United Way)
• Education (e.g., literacy programs, scholarships)

The company also tends to support organizations which have low administrative costs associated with their fundraising.

Due to the large number of requests that we receive daily, we are unable to confirm receipt of individual requests or provide status updates by telephone.

Community Service

As well as the commitment to provide monetary donations to support the communities in which we live, Savanna also encourages our employees to volunteer their time for community service activities (Habitat for Humanity, United Way, etc.). In order to promote this, Savanna organizes opportunities for team-building/volunteer events for employees to participate in. Savanna is also a member of Canadian Blood Services Partner's for Life Program, which encourages employees to donate blood.

Additionally, Savanna is a Corporate Sponsor and participant of Calgary Corporate Challenge, which is a volunteer-driven, Olympic-style event that promotes team building, boosts employee morale and company pride, while at the same time raises funds for local charities.
