Our giving priorities
With a focus on collaboration, learning and innovation, we work with community partners to develop forward-thinking solutions that benefit society as a whole.
Giving to communities and the organizations that sustain them is at the heart of BMO’s Purpose to Boldly Grow the Good – for a thriving economy, sustainable future, and inclusive society.

In 2022, BMO gave 69.3 million and our employees gave 31 million to organizations across North America. BMO is committed to making a positive impact through our community giving activities – beyond the dollar amounts and volunteer hours. We are stakeholders in the success of the organizations we support and are continually learning from them and with them, about where our support is needed most.
Across Canada and the U.S., BMO has a long history of donating to registered charitable and nonprofit organisations.
Our engagement model creates upfront clarity on the impact we aspire to achieve through our partnership with organizations such as yours that elevate and enrich our communities. It provides an efficient and transparent view into how we evaluate grant requests, including getting funds to you seamlessly.

Communities and the organizations that support them are at the heart of building a thriving economy, a sustainable future, and an inclusive society. Our community partners and the work they do is important which is why we continuously look for ways to improve our giving process.
We accept grants through our automated platform. At this time, we are not accepting new funding applications. Please check back in August 2024 when we will open the application portal once again. Thank you for your interest in partnering with BMO.
