“This is core to our culture at the firm,” he said. “Not only are our clients passionate about philanthropy, but so is the company and the employees who work for the company. Originally, we gave away a few thousand dollars to charity, but this year we are actually giving away more than a million dollars from profits to philanthropy, and we are actually sending some of most passionate employees and volunteers overseas to Ethiopia.” Brian Mills, VP and regional manager at award sponsor National Bank Financial, said the bank has a similar outlook on giving back. “[This award] is something we believe in,” he said. “If we didn’t give back to our communities, we wouldn’t be in it for the right reasons ... We have our community services award we give to our own, so we realize this is something important within our own DNA.” PROUDLY SPONSORED BY
