Grant and Funding Programs Offered by Foundation of the Long-Term Care Centres Vieux-Longueuil (FCHVD)

The Foundation of the Long-Term Care Centres Vieux-Longueuil is a local philanthropic organization dedicated to supporting residents of public long-term care centres in the Vieux-Longueuil area. It mobilizes donations from individuals, businesses and community partners and redirects this funding to concrete projects that improve comfort, dignity, well-being and social participation of residents.

The foundation’s financial support typically takes the form of funding for projects initiated by care teams or partner organizations, as well as the purchase of specialized equipment, furniture, and recreational or cultural activities that are not fully covered by regular public budgets. By doing so, it complements the services provided by the health and social services network.

The main beneficiaries are residents living in the long-term care centres of Vieux-Longueuil, along with their families and caregivers who benefit from a more humane and stimulating living environment. The foundation focuses on initiatives that promote comfort, safety, mobility, leisure, and social and community integration.

Although its funding envelopes are often modest and community-based, the foundation plays a key role in enabling innovative or value-added projects to see the light of day. Over time, its contributions help modernize premises, enrich programming of activities, and respond more flexibly to residents’ emerging needs.

In general, funding requests come from internal teams or closely linked partners rather than the broad public. Projects supported are usually aligned with the mission of long-term care centres: enhancing quality of life, preventing isolation, and supporting the physical and psychological health of an elderly and often vulnerable population.
