The Foundation of Greater Montréal, your foundation
Who we are
We have a vision of a community that is free of poverty and discrimination, where all can realize their potential and live in a healthy environment, today and in the future. We strongly believe that we have the tools at our disposal to make this vision a reality, if we can innovate for the mobilization and better distribution of the financial resources that already exist in Greater Montreal, and place them at the service of intelligence, creativity and solutions that can meet our community’s needs.

Inspiring stories
In 2015, the Chamandy Family Foundation was created in Montréal. It aimed to improve the day-to-day lives of children, and offer them hope for a better future. Many of the projects the Foundation supports assist youth who are experiencing homelessness : “The Chamandy Foundation commits to supporting children in all aspects of their development: education, rights, the fight against poverty, and health and well-being.” Other donors tell us why they have decided to give through the Foundation of Greater Montréal.
