About Us

Our Story

Founded in 2015, Chamandy Foundation is a private family foundation based in Montreal with a commitment to supporting a brighter, more equitable future for children and youth. We work in partnership with grassroots and community-based organizations across Canada, that are dedicated to advancing equity and improving the well-being of young people.
The Foundation actively funds organizations dedicated to improving the lives of children and youth in its community and abroad. We work in solidarity with non-profits that promote education, protection of the environment, alleviation of childhood poverty and the improvement of children’s physical, social and mental well-being.
