Project Funding Policy
The Lucie and André Chagnon Foundation
is currently not funding any new projects.
Over the past few years, in partnership
with the Quebec government, the Foundation has played an active
role in launching three independant organizations, to which it has
made major financial contributions: the Fund for the
promotion of a healthy lifestyle, the Early
childhood development fund and the initiative to promote
student retention. At the moment, funds available
for endowment projects are totally invested in these partnerships.
The total allocated annual amount is $54 million.
These three initiatives are the result
of a careful consideration based on the experience acquired during
the foundation's first years of activity. Indeed, the Foundation
supported numerous projects which allowed validating the new
orientation. Overall, about $250 million were invested. At present,
the Foundation manages another internal portfolio of about sixty
projects and most of them will fall due by the end of 2012.
If the Foundation is not funding any
new projects, these initiatives, however, are currently
accepting, or preparing to accept in the coming months,
applications for funding.
