How NABS Works
Founded in 1983, the National Advertising
Benevolent Society (NABS) is the only charitable organization in
Canada that provides a dynamic support system for all professionals
in the communication industry and related sectors. NABS services
have been 100% funded through events and donations; and the support
of individuals and organizations through volunteer, in-kind and
financial contributions. Over the years, the society has
re-invested more than $8.0 million in direct financial support to
thousands of industry professionals and their families. ALL NABS
SERVICES ARE CONFIDENTIAL AND FREE.
This support benefits professionals throughout their careers.
