The community initiatives program
The purpose of our community initiatives program is to provide funding for projects or program-based initiatives that aim to improve the quality of life in Greater Montréal, particularly in the areas of culture, education, environmental and sustainable development, physical and mental health, and social services. This program is supported by the generosity of donors who have requested that their funds be used for unrestricted purposes, or towards a broad field of interest.
