Our Cause

Education

The Legion Foundation believes in promoting education for everybody. We believe that there is potential in everyone and we want to realize it. Over 60% of the Legion Corporation's employees have gone for post-employment education, that has helped them gained new insight and skills to work more efficiently and more intelligently. We seek to offer scholarships and subsidies for people who truly want to learn and strive to get better. We are also interested in partnering with other organizations to push for these causes.

The Legion Foundation also believes in a world of the arts. Arts is the epitome of human civilization, where our culture and heritage is exhibited at its finest. We want a world that is filled with colours and sounds, one where your emotions and feelings can flourish. We seek to grow artists and artistic programs that help promote these causes. These creative minds of our society should not be left behind. However, knowing that it is difficult, we are here to help. The Legion Foundation hopes to partner with organizations to host artistic events, programs, that help push for artistic causes.
