About the Foundation
The Foundation of Quebec Chartered Accountants was created in December 2001 and was granted charity status in September 2002.
Foundations owe their existence to the generosity of donors. The Foundation of Quebec CAs accepts contributions in many ways, whether through a one-time cash donation or payments made over several years, annuities, life insurance policies, shares or bequests. Donors can choose how they would like to contribute, depending on their situation.
Another major source of revenue comes from fundraising activities in which Ordre members, along with their family and friends, are invited to take part.
Thanks to the various sources of financing mentioned above, the Foundation is able to award scholarships each year to students from across the province. Through these scholarships, the Foundation fosters talent and determination. Scholarships are a source of financial assistance that encourage the best and brightest students to pursue their education in order to be well prepared to face the many challenges awaiting them in the business world. Contributions to the Foundation also help to provide financial assistance to CAs in Ph.D. programs, ensuring that enough professors are available to train future CAs.
The Foundation’s Board of Directors and staff are confident that members of the Ordre des comptables agréés du Québec are committed to the next generation of CAs and willing to make a significant difference to their profession.
