The Mortgage that Gives Back

The Community Builder Mortgage™ is a unique fundraising opportunity available through our relationship with Alterna Savings.
The Community Builder Mortgage is a 3 or 5-year fixed mortgage that features a fantastic, no haggle interest rate*. You’ll also benefit from:
- A flexible payment schedule
- The option to double-up on payments so you can pay your mortgage off faster
- Free mortgage switch costs**
And, when you choose a Community Builder Mortgage, North York Harvest Food Bank receives an honourarium for 0.40% of the mortgage amount. For example, a mortgage of $200,000 will earn $800 for North York Harvest Food Bank .
With the Community Builder Mortgage you get a mortgage that can’t be beat and you’re supporting North York Harvest Food Bank . Definitely a win-win situation! And, as you’d expect, you can rest assured that the process is completely confidential.
