Employee giving

Our philanthropy program is designed to encourage our employees to become more active in charitable organizations.

Our program spans philanthropic grants, employee donation matching, and event-based fundraising campaigns that address global humanitarian events.

Grant program

With support from the COFRA Foundation, Bregal offers grants to employees to further contribute to the issues they are most passionate about.

Often, the grants are distributed to help grow or strengthen an employee‘s existing engagement with a philanthropic organization, where a history of dedicated time and resources spent exists. These grants are specifically intended to address themes such as education and training, services for underprivileged young people and families, and climate change mitigation.
