We donated $5 in support of Grand River Hospital Foundation and St. Mary’s General Hospital Foundation for every customer who registered for eBilling from mid-June until August 1. We raised $10,000 and split the donation evenly between the two foundations.

Our employees have a long tradition of supporting local charities and non-profit programs. This support continued in 2023 with the creation of Enova’s employee-led Charity Committee. The committee led fundraising drives throughout the year, raising more than $7,900 for the United Way, Nutrition for Learning and the Region of Waterloo’s Holiday Family program. Enova employees also supported mental health awareness through the Movember movement and Bell Let’s Talk Day.
Our summer campaign resulted in matching $5,000 donations to Grand River Hospital Foundation and St. Mary’s Hospital Foundation. We continued our annual support of The Food Bank of Waterloo Region with a donation of $5,250 through our fall eBilling Campaign.
