PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC) marked their 100th anniversary by establishing the first ever corporate named fund in the Tomorrow Fund, United Way's endowment fund.

PwC started leading the way in 1907 when their first Canadian office opened in Montréal and today are the world's largest professional services firm.

On October 24th, PricewaterhouseCoopers celebrated its 100th Anniversary.

To commemorate this great milestone, Managing Partner Chris Couture announced that they would establish the first ever Corporate Named Fund within The Tomorrow Fund, United Way's endowment fund.

Every year, investment income from The Tomorrow Fund is invested into our community to fund new and innovative projects that address emerging social issues.

Named Funds created with a gift of $5,000 or more and can be established as lump sum or accumulated over a number of years.

The creation of The PricewaterhouseCoopers Fund continues this company’s great legacy and will stand as a permanent reminder of their success and accomplishments.

The Tomorrow Fund’s capital value now stands at $7.2 million.
