The SSQ Foundation is fully responsible for establishing and respecting the eligibility criteria, as well as the donation policy, for all requests for financial support it receives.
Betterment of the community: at the heart of our mission!
The SSQ Foundation takes concrete actions aimed at giving back to the community.
The key activities of the Foundation
The SSQ Foundation was created in 1996 to provide philanthropic support to people in need and to make a meaningful contribution to the betterment of the community. Both are at the heart of the SSQ Foundation’s activities, which are mainly focused on the following four sectors:
Young people
School drop-out rates
Alcohol and drug dependency
Reintegration of young people into the labour market
SSQ Foundation’s mission
The future of our society depends on our youth, and it’s essential that we help young people pursue and complete their studies so they can find good jobs. That’s why the SSQ Foundation has chosen to provide financial support primarily to organizations that help young people stay in school and that work to solve the problems keeping them out of the school system. For the SSQ Foundation, focusing its efforts on young people is a choice with a promising future.

The SSQ Foundation is currently closed to new donation requests. Work is currently underway to define a new entity, following the merger of SSQ and La Capitale under Beneva.
Further information will be provided at a later date on the new procedure for submitting requests for financial support. We invite you to stay tuned.
SSQ Foundation’s concrete actions
Le Pignon Bleu - A house to grow up in
Le Pignon Bleu is a community organization that works with low-income families in Saint-Sauveur, Quebec. It offers help with homework, community kitchen services and a work integration program for unemployed adults.
Over the years, the SSQ Foundation has been able to support Pignon Bleu by giving it access to part of the house that belonged to SSQ’s founder.
