Spread the Community Support
Lending a hand to local causes
While MNP is a national firm, our partners and team members are as local as the individuals and family-owned businesses that comprise our clientele. MNP proudly supports initiatives that reflect our entrepreneurial spirit and share our values of leadership, excellence, and commitment to enhancing the communities where we live and work. By working together, we can make a difference in people's lives and strengthen our communities.
Our team members in Kelowna value our community and actively give back through volunteering, holding board positions, and participating in charity committees. MNP’s Kelowna Office strongly supports our community's key organizations by engaging in various sponsorships and actively attending events.
Civic award
MNP Kelowna was honoured to receive the City of Kelowna Corporate Community of the Year Award on April 24, 2024. This award celebrates the amazing efforts of our partners and team members who have worked together to make a positive impact in our community.
Family Hub donation
Our MNP Kelowna partners have set up the MNP Community Fund, showing their passion for supporting local families. They've pledged $50,000 per year over three years, totalling $150,000, to the Central Okanagan Family Hub. This network is all about connecting families with the support and resources they need.
Wildfire relief foodbank
During the 2023 wildfires, MNP showed their unwavering commitment to the community. Together, the Thompson-Okanagan MNP team dedicated time, energy, and support to make a positive impact where it was needed most, raising over $40,000 for those directly impacted by the wildfires.
Swinging with the Stars
MNP had the pleasure of joining the Central Okanagan Hospice Association at the 15th annual Swinging with the Stars. It was an evening full of dancing, fun, and a great cause — working to create a community where no one has to face death or grieve alone. This year, we contributed to a record-breaking total of over $550,000 raised!
Motionball
The MNP team is an ongoing supporter of motionball, where team members partake in various sports with Special Olympians while taking the #NoGoodWay pledge. Recently, we helped raise more than $150,000 for this fantastic organization.
YMCA Cycle for Strong Kids
The MNP Kelowna team participates in the YMCA Cycle for Strong Kids fundraiser, working to provide kids and families with an equal opportunity to be healthy in spirit, mind, and body. This event raises over $200,000 annually for the YMCA of Southern Interior B.C.
Entrepreneurship
Our team is dedicated to mentoring local entrepreneurs. We're involved with programs like WEL, AO Fundable, and entrepreneurship@UBCO to help the next generation of business leaders succeed.
