Montreal Strategy
Our founder, J.W. McConnell, was an avid supporter of organizations and institutions dedicated to improving the lives of his fellow Montrealers. We are honoured to continue his legacy.
Supporting community starts with a space
Our Montreal funding stream supports organizations in their capital campaigns and to revitalize heritage buildings for use by the social sector. In 2023, we partnered with community organizations across the greater Montreal region, including Kahnawake, to buy, build or renovate buildings to better serve their communities.
