Project Funding Policy

In order to concentrate on existing projects, the Foundation must regretfully refuse requests for funding in the following areas:

  • Fundraising events
  • Fundraising campaigns
  • Benefit galas
  • Facility upgrades
  • Athlete sponsorships
  • Humanitarian trips
  • Cultural events
  • Medical supplies
  • Individual or family support
  • Projects outside Quebec

The Foundation focuses its funding activities on projects and initiatives aimed at mobilizing local communities or mobilizing society, which are directly aligned with its mission, target and intervention strategy. The projects and initiatives that receive financial support from the Foundation are mostly administered by independent, operational organizations:

As part of the Foundation’s partnership with the Quebec government to manage the Fund for the promotion of a healthy lifestyle, there are periodically calls for proposals for province-wide health promotion projects or initiatives targeting local community mobilization. To submit your project proposal or obtain information on project funding, visit www.quebecenforme.org (for community mobilization projects) and www.saineshabitudesdevie.org (for province-wide health promotion projects).

To see the budget allocations for local community mobilization and societal mobilization projects, please consult the Financial Guidelines.

Our goal is to use prevention to help improve the lives of those around us because, as we all know, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!
