Its mandate has been to assist our communities and their people, and to date over $1,000,000 has been donated to various groups. These donations to the Labrador West area include; yearly scholarships valued at approximately $20,000, free television and/or Internet services for educational facilities such as schools and public libraries, and major financial donations to the Labrador West Rowing Association, the Tamarack Golf Club, the Labrador City Youth Centre, the Wabush Teen Centre, the Smokey Mountain Ski Club, the Labrador West Minor Hockey Association, the Labrador West Minor Softball Association, and the White-Wolf Snowmobile Club.
