Grant and Funding Programs Offered by Fondation Claude Masse

Fondation Claude Masse contributes to the funding ecosystem by supporting research and knowledge transfer in consumer law, economics, consumer protection, competition, and the functioning of markets. Its work is specialized, but that specialization matters: consumer protection issues affect access to justice, household financial resilience, business practices, and public confidence in markets. Through scholarships, awards, conferences, research support, and educational activity, the foundation helps students, researchers, legal professionals, community organizations, and policy actors deepen the evidence base behind consumer rights. This type of funding does not simply support one project at a time; it helps maintain an intellectual and civic infrastructure for better rules, better advocacy, and better-informed public debate. By backing emerging researchers and public education, Fondation Claude Masse keeps consumer-protection expertise visible and usable in Quebec and Canada.
