Community giving

Two Suncor employees put school supplies in backpacks for kids.

At Suncor, we believe in purposeful community investment that reflects the values of our people and the places we call home. We do this through our regional giving, the Suncor Energy Foundation, or on behalf of Syncrude—where we are the operator.

In collaboration with community partners, we focus our support on initiatives that strengthen communities and Indigenous well-being, promote health and safety, and foster education and workforce development to meet evolving community and industry needs.

Regions we support

Our operations span several key regions, including Calgary, Commerce City, Edmonton, Montreal, Wood Buffalo, Sarnia, and St. John’s.
