Club des Fondateurs

THANK YOU TO OUR DONORS!

The Club des Fondateurs was created in 2020. It is made up of experienced entrepreneurs, leaders and professionals who share similar interests and who wish to do their part to drive the Quebec economy forward by supporting higher education.

The Club des Fondateurs recognizes the contributions of donors whose generosity makes it possible to create a one-of-a-kind learning and research environment that encourages our students to succeed and further strengthens HEC Montréal’s reputation as a world-class business school.

Members of the Club des Fondateurs pledge to give $50,000 or more to HEC Montréal over a 10-year horizon.

An even greater impact for our community

IMPROVE THE CAMPUS EXPERIENCE

The generosity of our donors makes it possible to make a wider range of digital tools available to students, improve our study facilities and enhance library resources.

FUND RESEARCH PROGRAMS

Donations have a ripple effect that helps spark innovation and foster the transfer of knowledge to real-world applications. They contribute directly to grooming a new generation of experts and in spreading information outside of academic circles.

AWARD SCHOLARSHIPS

Regardless of the type of scholarship, these contributions change lives by opening up new academic pathways, fostering advances in research, cultivating entrepreneurship projects and enabling students to take part in international competitions and exchanges.

SUPPORT THE NEW DOWNTOWN BUILDING

The new HEC Montréal building in the heart of downtown Montreal will be a hub of expertise and interaction with the business community. The location will make it easier to connect with executives and professionals, encourage the transfer of knowledge and spur joint innovation with the School’s partners. This initiative will have a positive impact on students, the business community and Quebec society as a whole.
