Questrade cares

At Questrade Financial Group (QFG), we care deeply about helping Canadians become much more financially successful and secure. Our commitment to care extends not just to our customers and employees but to our communities as well. We do this by engaging and supporting the communities we are part of. Here are a few of the charitable endeavors we supported last year.?

We care about financial literacy.

We take pride in our ongoing partnership with JA Central Ontario as we join hands once more to invest in our youth’s financial literacy. We inspire and prepare young people to succeed in a global economy through immersive learning experiences in work readiness, financial health, and entrepreneurship.

Through our involvement in JA Central Ontario’s Dollars with Sense program, students developed personal money management skills and were empowered to make smart financial decisions and become savvy investors. 773 students from 18 schools throughout Central Ontario participated in the program, with 53 Questrade Financial Group volunteers leading the students through core lessons and activities.

Questrade supported this year's JA Central Ontario Golf Classic as a presenting sponsor.?Our team, fellow community members, partners, and students had a fantastic time playing golf and raised $77,230 towards this amazing cause!

Questrade also conducted an Investment Strategies Program (ISP). This 6-week online competition uses stock market data to teach students fundamental investing principles. The program includes researching, selecting investments, and managing an online stock portfolio. This prepares students to make savvy investment choices throughout their lives, better preparing them for the future. This year, 5,144 students from 187 schools participated throughout Central Ontario.

We care about food security.?

We help those experiencing hard times by partnering with Food Banks Canada to provide one day's worth of meals for every new account opened. Questrade Financial Group has donated over 300,000 meals in 2023 and over 2.5 million meals since the partnership started in 2017. We are proud of our continued efforts to lend a helping hand and give back to our local communities.

Questraders also love to give their time to help those in need. Throughout the year, we had 12 groups spend the morning at their local Food Banks, sorting through food donations for the community. Altogether, all groups sorted through over 30,360 lbs of food!

Additionally, we participated in the Food Bank After the Bell packing event this year. This exceptional program ensures that children receive food packs. Our team was one of the volunteer groups that sorted food items and assembled meals to support children facing food insecurity during the summer.

We care for grassroots communities.

Our people can also contribute their time to causes they are passionate about with paid community care days. In 2023, our people contributed over 4,270 hours to giving back to their communities.

Questraders across the globe also gave back to the communities they work in. Here are some of the activities Questraders participated in around the world:

In addition, they helped with cash donations for the expansion of the Telhado Verde Agroecologico, where part of the organic food produced is sold to the surrounding neighborhoods, and most of the food is donated to people in need through the Family Assistance Center (NAS).

In 2024 and beyond, we will continue with these and other initiatives to give back to the community. If you want to join a team that genuinely cares and wants to make a difference, QFG is the place for you. Check out our open positions: https://www.questrade.com/about-us/careers
