Défi Héritage 120: Empowering the stars of tomorrow to soar higher
As HEC Montréal approaches its 120th anniversary, a new constellation is emerging. The HEC Montréal Foundation invites 120 members of its community to make a planned gift to create a stellar philanthropic legacy and help the next generation of business leaders ascend to new heights.
Thanks to the Lise and Giuseppe Racanelli Foundation, every new planned gift made between now and December 31, 2027, will be matched with $7,500 from a $1 million support fund to make an immediate difference in students’ lives“For many of our alumni and friends of HEC Montréal, this challenge is an opportunity to move forward with something they’ve been considering for some time. Not only will their deferred donation leave a lasting mark, but the matching gift will also generate tangible results right away, making the gesture even more meaningful. Through this challenge, we can help talent thrive today while providing a reliable source of support for future generations.”— Badreddine Maamar, Assistant Director of the HEC Montréal Foundation and Alumni Relations Office
“The Foundation is profoundly grateful to the Racanelli family. Their historic gift, announced this spring, is enabling us to establish the support fund that will make Défi Héritage 120 possible. I would also like to thank the 20 or so donors who have already joined us in this collective initiative, which is poised to yield far-reaching benefits for HEC Montréal.” — Michel Patry, Chief Executive Officer of the HEC Montréal Foundation.
A real impact today. A growing legacy for tomorrow.
Eligible planned gifts include:
- Bequests in a will
- Gifts of life insurance
- Gifts of RRSPs or RRIFs
- Charitable trusts and other planned giving vehicles, in accordance with applicable legislation and HEC Montréal Foundation policies.

Let your legacy light the way to new possibilities!
