Genesis Gives Joy
Our Gives Joy campaign returns this holiday season in support of local families. Every year, we partner with our homeowners, realtors, and local communities to support trusted local organizations that help Albertans throughout the winter.
Why Give Joy
Across Alberta, food banks experience a surge in demand from October through year-end, a time when shelves are stretched thin and support means the most for families facing food insecurity.
Local organizations such as the Calgary Food Bank, Airdrie Food Bank, Veterans Association Food Bank, Women In Need Society (WINS), the Calgary & District Foster Parents Association, and Trellis Society rely heavily onseasonal contributions to sustain essential services through the colder months.
Genesis makes giving straightforward and meaningful by connecting every home purchase to a donation and offering convenient show home donation drop offs for those who are visiting our homes.
Through Gives Joy, Genesis donates $1,000 for every townhome sold and $2,500 for every single-detached home, from November 1 to December 31, 2025.
Gives Joy has grown into a seasonal tradition that rallies support for those in need. As of 2024, the Gives Joy campaign has donated a combined $115,000 to the six Calgary and Airdrie area organizations.
