Our goal is to listen to communities and support them in order to enhance community spirit and culture, safety, and skill development.
INVESTMENT FOCUS
BUILDING ON A SOLID FOUNDATION

Culture within a community is important. We recognize unique cultures in our communities and aim to be partners in building strong communities where citizens can learn, grow and lead.
Health and Safety
Safety is at the heart of all we do. NorthRiver is proud to invest in local initiatives and the organizations that keep our communities, people and the environment safe and healthy.
Skills Development
By removing barriers and increasing access to programs, training and skill development we seek to provide long-term benefits for people, communities and industries.
