The world's local bank
At HSBC Bank Canada, we view sponsorship both as an investment and as an opportunity to connect with customers and colleagues in the local communities in which we serve.
As the world's local bank, we know the importance of learning from and understanding the different countries, cultures and people around the world, and bring these understandings to our sponsorship philosophy. It is for this reason that our sponsorships are specifically focused on sports, education and embracing global communities and cultures.
We welcome opportunities that help bring to life our areas of focus, and that provide tangible benefits for the brand and business.
Please review the Sponsorship Criteria Checklist to see if your event or organization fits, and submit a proposal to our online entry form so that we can fully and fairly evaluate.
Our Marketing Department will respond to your proposal in 15 to 30 days.
Sponsorship vs. Charitable Donations
If you’re not sure whether you should be applying for sponsorship or a donation, you’re not alone. Every year, we receive sponsorship enquiries from organizations that would be better candidates for charitable donations and vice versa.
To determine which program is the best fit for your organization or event, refer to the table below:
