Where Do Your Donations Go?

Together, for a cancer-free childhood.

At the Fondation, we do everything in our power to ensure that the donations meant to sustain hope among Québec children with cancer and set them on a path to a cure are truly used for that specific purpose. We honour major investments, therefore, intended to support or inform research in pediatric hematology and oncology. In fact, the Fondation is recognized the world over for its generous financing.

When I grow up, I will be cured.

 

Since its creation in 1990, the Fondation Charles-Bruneau has allocated more than $100 million to the four Quebec-based university hospital centres that provide care to children with cancer (CHU Sainte-Justine, Montreal Children’s Hospital, CIUSSS de l’Estrie-CHUS, CHU de Québec-Université Laval) for purposes of creating Charles-Bruneau care units and centres and funding research on pediatric cancers. With this new commitment of $50 million (2025-2030), the Fondation Charles-Bruneau has now invested more than $150 million in the fight against cancer among children, thereby confirming its status as the leading funder of research in pediatric hematology and oncology in Quebec.

$50M Commitment (2025-2030)

The Charles-Bruneau Foundation currently has an ambitious financial commitment towards the four university hospitals specializing in pediatric oncology in Quebec.

The historic commitment announced will bring the Fondation Charles-Bruneau’s total investment to $150 million since its inception. These sums, distributed over the years to the four Quebec-based university hospital centres for children with cancer, make the Fondation Charles-Bruneau the leading funder of pediatric cancer research in the province.

This $50M five-year commitment will be allocated as follows:

• CHU Sainte-Justine: $21,310,776
• Montreal Children’s Hospital: $17,237,335
• CHU de Québec-Université Laval: $5,337,413
• CIUSS de l’Estrie-CHUS: $4,763,832
• Flexible envelope to respond to opportunities or meet the requirements of emerging projects: $1,350,644

In concrete terms, donations are used to:

• Finance research on all cancer phases among children, from prevention to survival, and from diagnosis to treatment.
• Promote innovation by financing emerging initiatives with the idea that the State will then institutionalize those that prove to be effective and legitimate.
• Promote regional equality of access to improved care and services.
• Help share knowledge and train the next generation of researchers in pediatric hematology and oncology.
• Support the collaborative and consensus-building work undertaken by a diversity of actors.
