Personal or family fund

The fund you create today will help bring about the little miracles of tomorrow. It lets you carry out your wishes as if you had your own foundation. Increase its scope by adding your monthly donations, or those of loved ones who would like to contribute to your cause.

Why create a personal or family endowment fund?

Looking ahead, thinking of tomorrow

By starting an endowment fund during your lifetime, you help heal sick children today and anticipate the needs of tomorrow. Your fund makes it possible to finance advanced equipment and set up essential spaces, projects that may take several years to acquire and complete.

A gesture that reflects your values and brings people together

Whether you thought of it or it is the continuation of a family tradition, creating an endowment fund reflects your commitment to helping sick children. The fund can be named after you, your family, a loved one, or a group of friends.

Easy to set up

Setting up a fund is a bit like creating your own foundation, without all the administrative hassle. You have five years to raise the initial capital, which you can then build on over the years. If you're considering a gift in your will, it can be included in your fund to further your philanthropic goals.

 

We’ll be here to help guide your decision-making and be by your side during every step of the fund creation process.

A donation that goes a long way

Do you already donate $2,000 or more annually? You could make an even greater impact if you create a fund with Enfant Soleil.

 

The income generated through capitalization is distributed to your cause each year. This way, you create a reservoir of hope for sick children and amplify the long-term impact of your donation.

"In our discussions with Enfant Soleil, we realized that setting up a fund during our lifetime would let us have something akin to a foundation without all the management required, while reaping the financial benefits now. This way, we can see the long-term effects of our support and see it evolve over the years."

"Édyth had entrusted her friend Suzanne with the task of liquidating her estate. 'She was confident that the money would be put to good use, helping to make new technologies accessible and humanizing the care provided to sick children, to help them overcome the challenges they faced.'"

Choose the type of fund that's right for you

Choose the option that best suits your means and the objective you wish to achieve. Each fund can be created over a five-year period.

This is the first step. The fund bears the name of your choice and supports Enfant Soleil's general mission, which adapts to changing needs. This first type of fund can evolve into a named and restricted fund.

This is the type of fund that allows you to achieve your philanthropic goals according to your priorities, including: 

  • Proximity of care in regional areas;
  • Acquisition of cutting-edge technology;
  • Improving children's hospital experience;
  • Enfant Soleil’s general mission.

This exceptional type of fund is designed to carry out a specific project that you may submit to us. It requires prior approval from the board of directors and sufficient capital for the project’s realization. Contact us to find out more.

Brigthen the health of future generations

Each year, Enfant Soleil supports more than a hundred projects in healthcare centres and organizations across Quebec to improve the care given to children. The sums entrusted to us are used to finance the equipment, treatment and facilities where thousands of children are cared for each year, and to ensure the sustainability of the support offered to the medical teams who care for them.

Your generosity helped Charles

Charles was born premature, at 32 weeks’ gestation. The medical team feared for his and his mother's life, Marie-Michelle. Marie-Michelle had to wait 14 long days before she could finally hold her baby in her arms. Charles' health was critical from birth and was deteriorating rapidly. He needed care for five weeks before he could go home to his big brother Hugo, who was eager to meet him.

Thanks to the good care he received in three different hospitals, and the many pieces of pediatric equipment funded by donations made to Enfant Soleil, Charles is doing well today! He and his brother Hugo have developed a wonderful bond, and the family takes life one day at a time, enjoying the present moment! 

Have questions?

Our team is here for you. A conversation can clarify your situation and help you reach a decision.

You considering making such a gift warms our hearts and helps envision a bright future for the children of today and tomorrow.
