For over 90 years, Richter has been giving back to the community. Throughout the firm’s growth in Montreal and Toronto, the community has been integral to Richter’s success and in an effort to show gratitude, Richter strives to pay it forward, by giving to those in need in impactful and substantial ways.
On September 15th, Richter lent a hand to different organizations in our community such as Tyndale St-Georges, CÉDA, Salvation Army, Mission Bon Accueil and Native Women’s Shelter of Montreal, in collaboration with Le Salon 1861.
Above lending a helping hand, Richter volunteers shared their knowledge by hosting three free workshops throughout the day, for Le Salon 1861 tenants and social organizations. These workshops aimed to empower the community in the management and development of their projects through financial education.
“Throughout the years our community involvement has grown substantially and we are proud of the impact we have created. Giving back to the community has always been a central focus at Richter – it’s not just in our mandate, it’s who we are.”
