At Wanner & Associates, we believe in the power of giving back to enrich the communities where we live and work. Our commitment to community involvement is woven into the fabric of our corporate culture, guiding us to support meaningful causes and collaborate with organizations that make a real difference. By engaging both individually and as a team, we not only contribute to community welfare but also experience growth as professionals and individuals.
Here’s an overview of the organizations and initiatives we proudly support:
Ongoing Partnerships and Contributions
Educational Opportunities:
We offer educational seminars and webinars to the community of Fort McMurray on a regular basis to support individual and family financial well-being.
NorFort Gymnastics Club
- Our Support: We are pleased to congratulate Tegan Wanner and the Norfort Gymnastics athletes who qualified and competed at the 2024 Canadian Gymnastics Championships earlier this month and contribute to their golf tournament fundraiser with a closest-to-the-pin prize of a YETI cooler.
Wood Buffalo Food Bank
- Our Impact: Each year, we organize fundraising events and food drives to support the Wood Buffalo Food Bank, helping to provide essential food items to families in need throughout our community.
IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer's
- With over 59,000 people diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias in Alberta and Northwest Territories, and no cure yet, the need to support people with dementia and their care partners has never been greater.
- The IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer's builds on the strength of thousands of community walks across the country, all raising funds and awareness for Alzheimer's disease and other dementias.
- You can check out our team page The IG Fort Mac Walkers and donate to Brian's participant page here (2024) to support programs and services in our community that improve the quality of life for people living with dementia and their families.

IG Empower Your Tomorrow
As a Canadian company, we believe in giving back in ways that can make real and meaningful differences in communities from coast-to-coast. Our commitment starts with IG Empower Your Tomorrow, a program dedicated to increasing financial confidence of all Canadians.
By using our expertise in financial planning, we deliver foundational financial education and resources to Canadians who need it most. Through this work, we empower Indigenous Peoples, newcomers, seniors and youth to manage their personal finances with confidence. It’s these kinds of positive changes that help create stronger communities and a better future for everyone.
