philanthropic intention
Through its philanthropic partnerships, the J. Armand Bombardier Foundation seeks to strengthen the capacities of individuals, organizations and communities by taking into account various development factors (human, social, economic and cultural).
The Foundation focuses its efforts on the Greater Montréal Area, the Eastern Townships and the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).
Please note: from April 16 to April 30, the Intent Form submission process will not be available, as we are at the end of the fiscal year.
