The Foundation of Greater Montréal, your foundation
You donate, we make money!
With this campaign, the Foundation of Greater Montréal aims to explain how a donation to FGM generates a greater financial return over time, but above all, how we increase the social, environmental, and community impact of each donation.

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.
