Guidelines

At Yellow Pages Group, we are developing a strong link with the communities we serve and are establishing a number of programs and activities that allow us to support them. Our community investment program supports charitable and not-for-profit initiatives that are focused on providing and ensuring the health of our children and youth, the development of our communities, and the environment where they live.

To ensure that your requests meet with Yellow Pages Group’s donations guidelines, please consult the following:

• Take place in Canada
• Reflect our focus on Canadian youth, community development and environment
• Have an impact on communities as well as records of financial stability and history of achievement

2) All charities requesting support must have charitable organization status and a Revenue Canada taxation number.

3) To ensure fairness and consistency in our application process and to guarantee an expedient process, we encourage you to send us your request by email to donations@ypg.com.

Employee Involvement

As a company that links nearly every Canadian household to a vast network of small, medium and large sized enterprises, we recognize that we have an important role in the communities where we live and operate throughout the country.

Yellow Pages Group employees proudly contribute their time, money and expertise to special causes such as the Canadian Cancer Society (CCS), Yellow Pages Group’s charity of choice. Yellow Pages Group employees donate money to the CCS through donations via a payroll deduction program. The program allows employees to donate a percentage of their pay to the CCS directly via a well-structured and easy-to-enrol plan. Employees are also actively involved in other causes which allows them to positively contribute to the betterment of our communities. Among them are fund raisers for children’s charities and hospital foundations.
