The Fonds Littératie
The Fonds Littératie aims to support initiatives across Quebec and Canada that promote literacy, in order to foster access to education and equal opportunities for all.
The Fund distributes annual impact grants to initiatives promoting various forms of literacy (health, financial education, access to technology, etc.). A committee has been set up to promote the development of this fund and raise the profile of innovative literacy projects. Donations received are deposited in perpetuity with the Foundation of Greater Montreal.
This fund was created in 2022 by Sophie Labrecque, President of MAGNET, as a continuation of her 30-year commitment to literacy in Quebec, Canada and internationally. She is the author of the Gift of Reading / La Lecture en cadeau project, deployed by the Literacy Foundation (Québec). She is a distinguished member of the Ordre de Excellence en éducation, issued by the Quebec government in May 2024, and a Knight of the Ordre de Montréal, in 2023. She is a member of the Board of Directors of the Foundation of Greater Montréal.
