Fonds Fondation Grantham pour l'art et l'environnement
To hope is to dream of what is possible, wrote Ernst Bloch. It was with a blend of hospitality, boldness, collaboration and hope that the Grantham Foundation for the Arts and the Environment (GFAE) was created in 2018. Its mission is to foster a meshing of the visual arts and environmental issues. Through its four programs of creation, research, publishing and education, GFAE aims to create a heightened social consciousness that will lead to greater harmony among all living things, and enhance the well-being of the planet.
“The Foundation of Greater Montréal plays an essential role in the life of the Grantham Foundation for the Arts and the Environment, on many levels. It constitutes an essential cog in our plan for the long-term sustainability of our Foundation, in particular by supporting our appeals to private and public granting organizations. As well, its programs produce a multiplier effect on the donations we receive. Finally, its widespread reputation in the philanthropic sector enhances GFAE’s credibility.”
