History is on your side
What makes Heritage different? Actually, it's in our name – a 45-year Heritage of helping people reach their educational goals.
We've grown with Canada's kids
Heritage Education Funds Inc. (originally known as Canadian American Financial Corp. (Canada) Limited) was founded in 1965. Over the years we've been part of many changes. Today, we're proud to be one of Canada's foremost RESP providers with:
- Flexible and affordable plans and scholarship options
- Partnerships with brand name companies providing additional benefits
- Over 375,000 children enrolled and $1.68 billion in assets under management
You can count on us
Unlike banks and other financial institutions, we deal exclusively in RESPs. Just ask the thousands of Canadian children whose futures have been built on a Heritage RESP.
