Supporting organizations that get kids moving

Each year, the Montreal Canadiens Children's Foundation supports organizations in their efforts to get children to be more active. Its reach extends across Quebec. By contributing financially to the implementation of programs that encourage vulnerable youth aged 4 to 17 to adopt an active lifestyle, the Foundation acts as a catalyst for impactful projects that help build more active, healthy, and inclusive communities.

Our mandate

The Donations Program aims to provide financial support to community organizations throughout Quebec, in order to get youth active through projects and programs aligned with the Foundation's mission.

We support initiatives that improve access to sports and active recreational activities and target a clientele similar to ours: vulnerable children and teenagers aged 4 to 17.

Depuis sa création en 2000, la Fondation des Canadiens pour l'enfance a accordé 22 millions $ à plus de 1000 organismes de bienfaisance oeuvrant pour le bien-être des enfants défavorisés à travers le Québec.

Initiatives we support

We support projects that promote the adoption and maintenance of healthy lifestyle habits through physical activity, over the course of several weeks, months, or year-round.

Projects must:

  • Have a direct and significant impact on a large number of disadvantaged youth aged 4 to 17;
  • Implement preventive strategies addressing a priority need in an underserved youth community;
  • Present a clear, structured action plan with measurable results.
