A community foundation since 2011<\/span> Your foundation for every cause<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Since 2011, Philanthropie Laurentides has made philanthropy<\/a> a lasting driver of well-being in the region.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Who we are<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Founded in 2011, Philanthropie Laurentides supports individuals, families, businesses and organizations that want to support the social, cultural and environmental causes of the Laurentians, today and for generations to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We create and manage philanthropic funds<\/a>, advise donors and help the region\u2019s charities build stable, long-term funding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We serve the entire Laurentians region: the RCMs of Antoine-Labelle, Argenteuil, Deux-Montagnes, Les Laurentides, Les Pays-d\u2019en-Haut, La Rivi\u00e8re-du-Nord and Th\u00e9r\u00e8se-De Blainville, as well as the city of Mirabel.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

What is a community foundation?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A community foundation is a local philanthropic organization. It receives donations from individuals, families, businesses and organizations, pools them into funds and invests them. The income from these investments is then redistributed in the community, according to the donors\u2019 wishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Philanthropie Laurentides is part of the Community Foundations of Canada network, which brings together more than 200 community foundations across the country, including 11 in various regions of Quebec.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

Funds that last<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The capital of endowment funds is preserved: only investment income is distributed, year after year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Donations that stay here<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Fund income supports organizations and projects in the Laurentians.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Local knowledge<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We know the region\u2019s issues and organizations, and direct donations where they have the greatest impact.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Our values<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

Sustainability<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We think long term: each fund is designed to support its cause for years, or even in perpetuity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Responsible investing<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Philanthropie Laurentides manages its own funds, according to ESG (environmental, social and governance) criteria.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
