Support for quebec organizations
Mission inclusion prioritizes support for organizations with limited access to traditional funding, particularly due to their size, community roots, innovative approach, or the politically sensitive nature of the issues they address.
We pay particular attention to organizations facing systemic barriers to funding access, such as:
Emerging or grassroots groups
Organizations without core/mission funding
Collective or informal initiatives (with a fiscal sponsor, if required)
Mission inclusion priorise le soutien à des organisations qui disposent d’un accès limité au financement traditionnel, notamment en raison de leur taille, de leur ancrage communautaire, de leur approche innovante ou du caractère politiquement sensible des enjeux qu’elles portent.
Nous portons une attention particulière aux organisations qui font face à des obstacles systémiques dans l’accès au financement, par exemple :
Les groupes émergents ou grassroots
Les organisations sans financement à la mission
Les initiatives collectives ou informelles (avec partenaire fiduciaire, si requis)

Women and people of sexual and gender diversity
Indigenous peoples
Racialized persons
Persons with disabilities
Youth and elderly persons
People experiencing poverty, homelessness, or food insecurity
