ActionS for a better childhood life quality is a non-profit
registered public foundation founded in 2009. Its mission is to fight poverty among
children under 18 living all over the Greater Montréal by taking active part in
trying to help them get out of their poverty and by increasing the general public
awareness to this issue.
ActionS has innovated in the way of accomplishing its
mission. Once a year, ActionS
calls upon all community organizations in the Greater Montréal area,
who work hard to improve the quality of life of disadvantaged children, for submitting
projects focused on education, healthy nutrition, health and practice of sports
& leisure for which they seek funding. To this end, ActionS
has developed a well-precise and fair procedure for
evaluating the demands, providing support for some projects, and making necessary
follow-up to ensure that the funds have been used for the right purpose.
ActionS has also innovated in its fundraising approach.
The foundation collects various kinds of donations from a large number of
suppliers. They consist of branded new non-perishable products. Twice a
year, ActionS organizes charitable
Sale events opened to the general public to dispose of these donations,
at incredible low prices. Besides that, it holds a Gala
Dinner where well-known stars put their talent to the benefit of this cause.
A Family Brunch is another successful event of
ActionS. Significant cash contributions from many sponsors sharing ActionS
' mission help the foundation to achieve its goals.
Throughout all its activities, ActionS takes part in
increasing the public awareness about childhood poverty
problem. The public attending any of the events, has the opportunity to support
a good cause while either making great savings, or enjoying memorable moments, or
even through lending a helping hand as volunteer.
ActionS is very grateful to all its generous
donors. To this end the foundation has adopted a very fair
recognition policy based on the annual amount of donations.
ActionS offers its donors a great visibility before, during,
and after the events and, in some cases, all year long.
Through these actions, ActionS would like to join hands
with the three government levels and other community organizations that are already
working in the field, so that these children would be able to recover their human
dignity and be first class citizens, who would play a positive role in the development
of their community and their country.
