Desjardins Philanthropic Funds

Help make the world a better place.

Create a Desjardins Philanthropic Fund

The Desjardins Foundation offers you the opportunity to create your own philanthropic fund, so you can provide long-term support for the causes that matter to you. This is a faster, simpler alternative to establishing a private foundation.

A Desjardins Philanthropic Fund can be made up of immediate donations or deferred contributions, such as through a will.

Every year, we distribute a percentage of your fund's value to your recommended beneficiary organizations. They'll be able to count on regular, ongoing funding to support their charitable initiatives.

Customize your fund by choosing its name and your beneficiary organizations.
Change your fund’s features anytime, free of charge.
Enjoy a turnkey solution administered by the Desjardins Foundation, ensuring the continuity of your charitable choices.
Name successors to create a sustainable family or group project.
Benefit from charitable tax credits.
