The Little Brothers Foundation: Expanding Generosity

The main objective of the Foundation is to secure and grow the financial resources necessary for Little Brothers to fulfill its mission to the elderly in Quebec. It also ensures the organization’s outreach to the general public in order to rally more donors, partners, and volunteers to the cause of countering seniors’ isolation.

All the activities and campaigns organized by the Foundation have the sole purpose of supporting the organization in bringing a warm presence to our Great Friends.

We are committed to transparent and efficient use of all contributions, and appreciate your invaluable support in making our vision a reality.

Trust is at the heart of our relationships and exchanges with donors. The Little Brothers Foundation adheres to the Donor Bill of Rights of the Association of Fundraising Professionals.

Your generosity, an essential component of our mission

It is thanks to the generosity of the public that Little Brothers has been able to carry out its mission for over 60 years, accompanying isolated seniors in Quebec. 87% of our revenues come from the generosity of our loyal donors and committed partners, thanks to whom the Foundation is able to expand the work of Little Brothers by increasing its capacity, ensuring the continuity and gratuity of its support, and actively participating in the development of social social gerontology in Quebec.

These diversified revenue streams provide stability to our organization and allow us to have faith in the future.

Why Donate?

Your donations allow seniors to have someone in their life they can trust, with whom they can talk and be listened to in return. Your contributions enable us to re-establish and maintain bonds with Great Friends and to accompany them until the end of their lives.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Your donations provide the means to organize celebrations, workshops, and vacation getaways for seniors. These occasions foster friendships, connections, a renewed sense of joy in life, as well as a desire to remain active.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Your donations help seniors who are going through difficult situations (loss or bereavement, a move, deteriorating health, etc.). They also support those with cognitive deficits, mental health issues, or other forms of vulnerability. Thanks to you, our organization can provide them with goods that are often expensive, but absolutely essential to their socialization: glasses, prostheses, hearing or dental aids, wheelchairs, household appliances, etc.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Your donations support our efforts to raise awareness about the situation of isolated seniors in Québec. They give us the means to bring the views and perspectives of those who are often behind closed doors to the forefront of public discussion. These efforts allow us to rally more support and commitment for this cherished cause. We are aiming to change the way society looks at seniors.
