Strengthening our community roots together

Join us in our mission to foster vibrant, sustainable communities across Atlantic Canada.

Building vibrant communities in Atlantic Canada

At CAA Atlantic, our vision extends beyond the open road to the heart of the communities we serve. Integral to our identity is a steadfast commitment to corporate social responsibility, aimed at nurturing and supporting the vibrant tapestry of life throughout Atlantic Canada. 

This vision comes to life through our strategic focus on three essential pillars: Food Security, Equity Deserving Groups, and Clean Communities.

Food security

We know times can get tough, and we want to make sure everyone in our community has enough to eat. That's why we're helping local food banks.

Our goal is to give them what they need to help families who are struggling. By supporting food banks, we're making sure no one in our community goes hungry, no matter what.

 

Equity Deserving Groups

We love how different and unique everyone in our community is. That's why we're putting our energy into celebrating and supporting diversity. 

We help by sponsoring events and programs that bring people together, showing us how our differences make our community more vibrant and full of life. This is all about making sure everyone feels included and understood, no matter their background.

Clean Communities

Environmental stewardship guides our actions towards creating cleaner, more sustainable communities. We champion projects that enhance our natural landscapes, promote green practices, and advocate for the health of our planet.

Eligibility criteria

In 2023, we talked to all our stakeholders – members, staff, board of directors and key partners – for direction on our community support. The causes we choose to get behind are rooted in our mission, vision and values and strategic direction, and have an positive impact on the communities of Atlantic Canada. In particular, CAA Atlantic is focused on helping those in need, locally. 

Eligibility criteria for causes we support:

  • The request must be for a Canadian Registered Charity
  • The request must directly benefit Atlantic Canadian communities
  • The request must align with CAA Atlantic’s support focus (helping those in need, locally)
  • As part of our commitment to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging, special consideration will be given to requests that meet the above outlined criteria, but also benefit marginalized groups.

We do not support:

  • Requests for individuals or business endeavors
  • Organizations with values in conflict with CAA Atlantic’s values
  • Political organizations and associated activities
  • Religious or sectarian programs or groups
