The mission of the HEC Montréal Foundation is to engage donors and raise funds to support the School’s initiatives. In so doing, we are contributing to the development of the next generation of world-class business professionals who will play an active role in fostering social and economic prosperity in Quebec and in further strengthening the province’s visibility and reputation worldwide.
The HEC Montréal Foundation CRA registration number is 11892 4158 RR0001.
The HEC Montréal Foundation is the first university foundation in the province to be certified in governance and best management practices by the Bureau de normalisation du Québec (2013-2017). We are committed to implementing these practices at all times with a maximum of integrity and transparency.
The HEC Montréal Foundation’s board of directors plays a critical role in the Foundation’s governance. Each of our donor categories is represented on the board.
