RONA Foundation donates $1 million to support Canadian non-profits
The RONA Foundation, the philanthropic arm of RONA inc., will donate $1 million to seven non-profit organizations through its Build from the Heart program. Launched in May 2023, the initiative supports construction and home improvement projects to aid vulnerable communities in Canada.
“We’re driven by the desire to make a difference in the lives of people every day,” said Catherine Laporte, RONA Foundation Board president.
Beneficiaries include low-income families, victims of domestic violence, and people with disabilities or mental health issues. Funds were raised through in-store campaigns, the sale of winter hats, and an annual golf event. Recipients span multiple provinces, including Alberta’s Homes for Heroes Foundation and Ontario’s Cornerstone Housing for Women Foundation.
