Grant and Funding Programs Offered by FA Foundation

FA Foundation is a charitable foundation based in Quebec and linked to a religious congregation, the Sisters of Notre-Dame-de-la-Croix. Its primary role is to provide financial support to organizations and projects that are aligned with its Christian values and its commitment to the dignity of persons, social justice and community solidarity. The foundation typically intervenes through donations and grants to non-profit organizations, community groups and works inspired by the congregation's mission.

While the details of each program may vary over time, the foundation generally focuses on initiatives that promote education, support vulnerable people and strengthen community life. This can include projects in social and community services, initiatives aimed at youth or families, and activities that foster spiritual development or pastoral outreach. The foundation may provide operating support or project-based funding, depending on the needs presented.

The main beneficiaries are non-profit organizations and community works operating in Quebec and, where relevant, in other regions where the congregation has a presence. By concentrating its resources on carefully selected initiatives, FA Foundation seeks to reinforce the long-term impact of the congregation’s legacy in local communities, helping maintain or develop services that might otherwise lack sufficient funding.

The foundation is governed by a board or committee that oversees the allocation of funds in line with its mission and available resources. Requests for support are typically evaluated on their alignment with the foundation’s values, the quality and feasibility of the proposed project and the expected benefits for the target population. Depending on the year and budget, the foundation may open or close specific calls for projects, or accept requests on a rolling basis through direct contact.
