At Beneva, we put people first. Community involvement is in our DNA. Our goal is to prevent anxiety while helping those afflicted to manage it, encourage sound lifestyle habits through sport and support those around us.

In 2024, we donated $4.2 million to 200 charities, institutions and social partners who, like us, are committed to ensuring community well-being.

Our corporate cause Preventing anxiety, one concrete step at a time

In Canada, one in four people lives with anxiety. Since 2022, we’ve been working with partners across the nation to find ways to prevent and better manage it. This includes:

  • Providing better access to anxiety prevention and management tools.
  • Supporting research on creating new support methods.
  • Initiating conversations within the community to make anxiety better understood and accepted.
  • 50,000
    young people better equipped to recognize the signs of anxiety
  • $1.5M
    invested to improve access to mental health support
  • 3,600
    people received mental health support through the programs we contribute to
