À chaque mois, nous abordons un thème différent avec un mot de la direction ainsi que de courtes vignettes portant sur les fonds, les philanthropes et les organismes qui forment la communauté de la FGM en se mettant à l’écoute et au service de la communauté du Grand Montréal.
A few weeks ago, we shared with you some inspiring stories about the creation of philanthropic funds with the Foundation of Greater Montréal. Today, we invite you to learn more about the nuts and bolts of setting up a fund.
Because before launching into a philanthropic project, there are many questions to consider. What type of fund and what level of involvement are most appropriate? Over what length of time? What happens after the assets are transferred and the tax receipt is issued? How are the assets invested? How do you designate the beneficiary organizations? And many more.
What you need to know
As a community foundation, FGM enables the pooling of assets from our hundreds of fund creators, as well as the sharing of the resources needed to manage them. This synergy benefits donors, the many charitable organizations that work with us, and ultimately the community as a whole. In other words, when you entrust your donations to the Foundation of Greater Montréal, your generosity goes further.
Creating a fund with FGM is the equivalent of establishing your own foundation without having to handle its day-to-day administrative, legal, or financial management. This lets you focus on the cause close to your heart and on choosing the organizations you want to support. We take care of the rest.
Through our responsible and impact investment strategies, we also aim to put the philanthropic capital entrusted to us to work in a way that aligns with the causes it serves and the values it helps promote.
We’re here for you
The Foundation of Greater Montréal is the foundation for every cause. It’s your foundation. Keep reading to learn more. And if you’re considering a philanthropic project, looking for a way to support a cause close to your heart, or hoping to give back to the community in a lasting way, remember that we’re here to guide you every step of the way. Happy reading, and happy back-to-school season!
