The IRCM Foundation’s mission is to obtain funding from corporations, private organizations and individuals. The collected funds allow the Foundation to support the research work, technological development and training activities of the Institut de recherches cliniques de Montréal, thus contributing to its growth.
To fulfil its mission, the IRCM Foundation organizes two major philanthropic events each year: the annual dinner and the bilan de santé - golf tournament, as well as a race on Mount-Royal and a fundraising campaign among clinic patients and other generous donors. The Foundation is fortunate to be able to rely on the support of private partners who, over the years, become its loyal friends and supporters.
The IRCM Foundation is currently undertaking a major fundraising campaign. This five-year campaign will help the IRCM reinforce its leadership role in the field of biomedical research.
A donation to the Fondation de l'IRCM is a direct contribution to the advancement of scientific research, to the implementation of technological infrastructure and to the training of the next generation of high-level scientists, here in Québec. It is also a way to participate in community development.
The Foundation is also privileged to benefit from the voluntary advice and support of the members of its Board of Directors to help it accomplish its mission.
In addition, twice a year, the IRCM Foundation publishes Partenaires pour la vie, a newsletter designed for partners and donors of the IRCM and its Foundation, which contains news and information about the Institut.
