Based on its principles of respect for and unconditional acceptance of the individual, social justice and the development of women’s potential and solidarity, the Foundation is an ally of choice to ensure the financial sustainability and positive impact of Le Chaînon.
While she designed an impressive program of activities intended to publicly highlight, throughout 2013, Le Chaînon’s remarkable achievements with respect to women in difficulty, and its exemplary dedication that has earned it its mark of distinction. An extensive media campaign was deployed to help mobilize partners in the the business and artistic communities, with the support of the Board of Directors and the permanent and volunteer teams.
Eighty “80th Anniversary Patrons” – women of influence, business leaders, professionals and public figures, as well as 80 “faces” including members of the founding group, employees, volunteers, residents and former residents – agreed to join forces throughout the year of celebrations.
The day after the memorable 80th Anniversary Patrons Gala — which capped what had been a positive, decisive year for the organization’s reputation, visibility and future — a dozen leading figures and professionals from the business community spontaneously accepted the invitation of Line Racette, a highly respected director of Le Chaînon who was then a partner at KPMG, to join the first board of directors of the new foundation, which she would chair.
On December 10, 2013, La Fondation Le Chaînon obtained its official charitable status; the administrative documents were ratified at its first general meeting on October 1, 2014.
The establishment of La Fondation Le Chaînon has allowed leaders in many different fields to come together and reach out to their networks of contacts and contribute, in any way possible, to financing the organization and its outreach. This has allowed the organization to facilitate the realization of ambitious projects and innovative initiatives, for the greatest benefit of homeless and vulnerable women, and to ensure the sustainability of the shelter.
In its November 29, 2014, edition, the newspaper Les Affaires highlighted, in a beautiful manner, the launch of La Fondation Le Chaînon.
