The Fonds Vital d'aide aux réfugiés

In support of community sponsorship programs

In 2015, an anonymous donor created a donor-advised fund with FGM, the Fonds Vital d’aide aux réfugiés (the Refugee Vital Assistance Fund). This fund aims to support integration projects for refugees in the Greater Montréal area, as a complement to government programs and sponsorship initiatives from local community organizations.

The Fonds Vital d’aide aux réfugiés grants can be used to:

  • Strengthen community support networks available to refugees;
  • Support cultural awareness programs, including French-language classes;
  • Support employment integration programs;
  • Answer basic needs and necessities such as housing, clothing, food and education;
  • Support any other action that furthers the Fund’s goals.

Thank you to the creator of the Fonds Vital d’aide aux réfugiés for their commitment to support individuals who are among the most marginalized in our community!
