Funding Guidelines

Husky provides donations to registered and non-profit organizations that strengthen the communities where our employees live and work. While Husky is not able to support all organizations seeking funding, it does focus on those that best fit its community investment strategy.

As a first step, it is important to find out if your organization fits Husky’s donations profile:

• Organizations in locations where Husky has a business presence and/or employees who reside where the request is being made
• Organizations that are registered charities or established non-profit community organizations
• The program or project benefits a wide cross-section of the population
• Organizations that are able to effectively measure their programs, are cost-effective and offer donor recognition
• Requests can be for financial, product or in-kind contributions

Husky's major funding categories are:

• Health
