Grant and Funding Programs Offered by Foundation of CLSC des Mille-Îles / CHSLD Laval (CLSC)

The Foundation of CLSC des Mille-Îles / CHSLD Laval is a community-based non-profit organization dedicated to supporting the CLSC des Mille-Îles and three public long-term care centres in Laval: CHSLD Fernand-Larocque, CHSLD La Pinière and CHSLD Val-des-Brises. Through donations from individuals, families and partners, the foundation invests directly in these health and social services facilities.

Its funding is used to enhance the quality of care, improve comfort and quality of life for residents, and provide equipment or projects that go beyond what is covered by regular public budgets. Over more than 35 years, the organization has played a complementary role to the public system by helping to humanize living environments in CHSLDs and to support front-line health and social services staff.

The main beneficiaries of the foundation’s financial support are users of the CLSC des Mille-Îles and residents of the three CHSLDs it serves. Funding can take the form of investments in equipment, layout and comfort of premises, recreational and therapeutic activities, and initiatives that promote dignity, safety and well-being of older adults and vulnerable people.

By centralizing community philanthropy around these institutions, the foundation acts as a channel through which donors can contribute concretely to improving care and services in Laval’s east-end territory.

As a non-profit foundation, the organization is accountable to its donors and community partners for the use of the funds collected. While the homepage focuses on mission and contact information rather than detailed program rules, its structure and long-standing presence indicate that projects are selected in collaboration with the CLSC and CHSLD management teams to respond to priority needs of patients, residents and staff.
