We supported the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts in developing cultural initiatives designed to last—accessible, rooted in the community, and driven by strong teams.
Providing a roof means providing a foundation. We support Toit à Moi because their approach is concrete, their team is deeply rooted in the community, and their response to the housing issue facing vulnerable seniors is both rigorous and humane.
Housed in a former industrial building in Old Montreal, the Darling Foundation offers exhibition spaces, creative studios, and international residencies—a model that brings together the local scene and practices from elsewhere. We chose to support them because this model is rare and deserves to endure.
Avec les laboratoires de recherche de l'Université d'Ottawa, nous cherchons les innovations dont les effets sur nos milieux de vie sont concrets, vérifiables et durables.

Behind every project we support are the same preliminary questions: who is leading it, what problem it truly addresses, and what it concretely delivers for those it is meant to help. These answers guide our decisions.
Our approach is social venture capital: we support projects when they are led by the right people, rooted in a genuine need, and capable of creating value for all stakeholders.
We work in poverty, arts and culture, the environment and education — areas where our commitment can produce something tangible and lasting.
A rigorous team. A documented need. Measurable impact over time. On these foundations we choose to invest in poverty, arts and culture, the environment and education.
One impact. Four pillars. One vision.
Build a society where change is
built, and built to last
