Donating to the John Abbott College Foundation is much more than a financial transaction
Each gift is an expression of faith in the work we do, and your collective contributions are the lifeblood of the Foundation. When you give, you transfuse energy and possibility into the heart of our mission, which is to protect and nurture our most valuable resource – our students.
Your donations help us build on our stellar reputation as one of the top-ranked CEGEPs in Québec
This is your opportunity to partner with us as we empower our students to progress, learn, communicate and become leaders in today’s society. We use your donations to build sustainable facilities and stay on the leading edge of technology and educational innovation. Our commitment to innovation and excellence in education within a technologically advanced environment not only attracts top-notch teachers, but also generates strong, competitive students.
We believe it is our social responsibility to make a quality education accessible to all students, regardless of their financial means
This translates into monies and vouchers for food and books in order to help defray living expenses for students who otherwise would not be able to bridge the gap between limited finances and their education.
We are in the business of unleashing dreams and building a brighter future
When you donate to the Foundation, you become part of that bright, new future, because you have partnered with us in shaping the opportunities we give our students, many of whom go on to change the world for the better. You have the power to shape the future with your philanthropy.
Who You’re Helping
Each student coming through Financial Assistance Services asking for help has a story. Those who receive financial aid from the Student Assistance Fund, do not have the means to cover the costs of basic living expenses, including educational expenses. There is no age to require financial aid. Our student population ranges from the ages of 16 to 65. They come from various socio-economic and cultural backgrounds.
On the right are some examples of student profiles or situations we encounter when evaluating students seeking assistance from Financial Assistance Services:
Living alone at 18, no support
Delayed financial aid, months without help
Working full-time to afford school
Escaped unsafe home environment
Family filed for bankruptcy

How You Can Make an Impact
The ways that you can give to the Foundation are numerous. There are gifts of money, gifts of stock, gifts in-kind (services or products), and planned gifts (annuities, bequests or life insurance policies).
What all of these gifts have in common is how they benefit you at the same time as they benefit the College and our students. Few things are more satisfying than seeing a return on an investment that directly impacts society in such a positive and tangible way. When you donate to the John Abbott College Foundation, you help create academic opportunities for talented and ambitious students — the very people who will go on to make our world a better place.
