The FDG's approach

At the FDG, we often speak of the importance of the bond and the trust-based relationship that unites us. We believe that human interactions are important. They should be at the heart of each of our actions.

This relationship is characterized by mutual trust, where everyone can share, with complete transparency, their needs and speak honestly. This can include the context in which the organization operates, sharing successes, and sometimes discussing challenges or crisis situations.

Our commitments in Quebec

We are a family foundation rooted in Quebec, actively working in targeted sectors of the Greater Montreal and Quebec City areas. By focusing our donations on specific neighborhoods, we aim to maximize our impact and strengthen our local engagement.

Areas of intervention

Youth

We aim to encourage the participation of young people, particularly those aged 12 to 17, in projects that concern them, promote civic responsibility, and foster their social and volunteer involvement in their communities. The projects provide support to young people during times of crisis or transition, enabling them to fully develop their potential.

They are aimed at children and youth in vulnerable situations: children aged 0-12 and young people aged 12-30.

Familly

By valuing parental experience, the idea is to encourage their contribution to projects that aim at the well-being of the child and the fulfillment of their fundamental rights.

The portfolio includes projects that provide direct support to parents, others target a combination of both parents and children, while some projects offer respite or daycare services so that parents can pursue their life projects. Collective kitchens and gardens, on the other hand, allow entire families to be adequately nourished.

Understanding your needs

Driven by a desire for collaboration, our philanthropic commitment is built on the development of lasting partnerships based on trust.

To achieve this, we dedicate time to meeting with organizations and truly understanding their challenges and needs. We value this approach, which allows us to continuously learn and forge strong connections.
