"Fountain of Hope's mission is to directly benefit registered charities in our communities across Canada through the financial support and personal involvement of employees, pensioned employees, customers and friends of BMO Financial Group.

For more than 25 years, employees of BMO Financial Group have been part of a proud tradition --- generously donating financially, and offering their time and talents to raise money for people in need.
This important contribution to the communities in which we live and work, is a testament to the imagination, the hard work and the commitment of our employees.

Today, that tradition continues through our national foundation, Fountain of Hope, Employees’ Foundation, BMO Financial Group. Fountain of Hope combines the unique strengths of the many local and regional employee charities that have existed over the years, together with a distinct national identity."
