At IG Wealth Management, we’re committed to fostering financial well-being in communities across Canada. This commitment fuels our support for clients and community programs.

Making a difference through financial wellness programming

IG is proud to partner with the Immigrant and Refugee Community Organization of Manitoba (IRCOM) to improve financial confidence among newcomers to Canada. Through this meaningful partnership, IG has supported the development of IRCOM’s Asset and Capacity Building Programs. Delivered in partnership with SEED Winnipeg and Empower Manitoba, these programs are essential to helping families access the tools they need to manage their finances as they settle into their new lives in Canada.

Money Management Training program participants receive support and guidance while working through exercises together.

With IG’s support, ICROM offers a comprehensive, eight-session Money Management Training series. After completing the program, participants experienced a:

  • 100% increase in believing they can improve their financial situation
  • 88% increase in confidence with managing money and setting goals
  • 85% increase in creating and following a budget
  • 100% increase in saving money
  • 90% increase in feeling comfortable getting financial help

“Money Management Training was very helpful. All the chapters were connected, and I learned a lot of new information. This course really helps newcomers. Thank you, IRCOM, for teaching me about budgeting. Now I can plan my money better, save for my children, and pay my bills on time.”
