Granting Policies
Introduction
Ceridian Cares is committed to being an employee driven charity that makes a difference supporting people and improving communities in which we live and work. To that end, Ceridian Cares intends to make grants to eligible recipients in range from $200 to $5,000 to support people and improve our communities.
The funds available for grants to eligible recipients is based on donations received by Ceridian Cares Canada from employees of Ceridian and its affiliates and other supporters of Ceridian Cares Canada. The discretion to determine funding rests solely with the Ceridian Cares Granting Committees and its Board of Directors.
