What we are

Fondation Notre Home Foundation is a registered charitable foundation that receives and raises funds to support initiatives by groups and organizations that encourage, enhance, and empower the English-speaking community of Québec.

Our Vision

Our vision is to help create an inclusive, prosperous and dynamic Québec, where English-speaking Quebecers are engaged, feel welcome and actively contribute to the province’s development.

Our Mission

As outlined in our Statement of Purposes, to support and promote an inclusive Québec and the vitality of Québec’s English-speaking communities Notre Home provides funding to initiatives that:

  1. Promote good citizenship, civic engagement and provide leadership recognition and development.
  2. Provide research on and promote, inform, protect and defend Charter Rights, particularly with respect to our community’s minority-language rights.
  3. To receive and maintain a fund or funds and to apply those funds to qualified donees.

We have supported, and will continue to support, inspiring events that celebrate and recognize the great contributions of engaged citizens and leaders in the community.

Notre Home will carry out and support promotional activities that encourage respect, inclusiveness and diversity in the Québec population.

An example was the 2022 demonstration and rally held in opposition to the adoption of Québec’s Bill 96, which contains a number of measures harmful to the English-speaking community of Québec.

Notre Home supports:

  • Initiatives celebrating its community members’ successes and historical contribution to our society
  • Efforts that encourage greater civic engagement, including leadership training
  • Research initiatives on minority-language rights
  • Legal initiatives that aim to Charter Rights, particularly minority-language rights

Notre Home supports the fundraising efforts of various organizations working in and for the English-speaking Community such as:

  • The Quebec English School Boards Associations’ School Board Legal Fund
  • The Marlene Jennings Service Award
  • The fight against certain provisions of Bill 96, An Act respecting French, the official and common language of Québec
  • The Quebec English-language Production Council’s Anglo / Allo Quebec! Program
