Monthly donation
Monthly gifts are a real driver of impact. But why monthly giving
Ease and accessibility
A small amount each month can be easier to manage in our personal finances than a large one-time donation. This allows for a significant contribution without causing financial difficulty. It's like a subscription that directly supports student-athletes in Quebec, an investment subscription!
Benefits?
Year-end tax receipt for your total contribution. For any contribution of $1500$ or more, you will present your scholarship directly to «your» recipient!
A true impact driver
It is often said in philanthropy: there are no small donations. And it's true. The ripple effect generates a positive and lasting impact. Even small monthly donations, accumulated over the year and added to those of other donors, help fund more scholarships and offer more comprehensive lifelong support services for all our scholarship recipients.
What percentage of my donation goes directly to the stock market?
100%! For individual donors, 1$ = 1$ scholarship, no administrative fees, no part directed towards fulfilling the mission. And the Foundation covers the lifelong services offered to scholars.
FAQ – Monthly Donation
How do I sign up for a monthly donation?
It's really very simple! You just need to fill out the online court form. The selected secure payment method will be debited each month on the date of your first donation.
I'm not very familiar with the Foundation yet. Can I submit a grant application?
Yes – We will be happy to welcome you to the Family! Personalization will be at the core of the efforts to identify your scholarship recipient. For example, we can target a region, a sport, or a field of study.

Monthly donations are a way to accumulate the sum needed to offer a scholarship in one's name. It is possible to award a scholarship by reaching the minimum annual amount without committing to multiple years. A 5-year commitment makes you eligible for your own personalized program or to join the Give Forward program, but this is not mandatory.

Why the Aléo Foundation?
Investing at the Aléo Foundation contributes to creating the next generations of impactand makes a lasting, tangible difference while provoking the rise of new philanthropists who will give back through circular philanthropy!
Circular philanthropyMO
A movement of generosity that initiates a philanthropic culture among recipients from their very first scholarship through various non-monetary acts of sharing, and eventually leads them to reverse roles to financially give back to the movement to fuel the revenue-generating cycle for the benefit of the student-athletes who succeed them. It's a virtuous cycle!
In addition to scholarships, the Aléo Foundation deploys lifelong services to each of the scholarship recipients. These services are offered to them during and after their athletic and academic careers, at any time or transition in their lives.
Felix Dolci, gymnast, an Olympian at the Paris 2024 Games, and a scholarship recipient since 2015, is the proud spokesperson for the Generations of Impact campaign. Félix was crowned champion of the all-around and floor exercise at the 2023 Pan American Games, becoming the first Canadian in 60 years to win this title. Previously, in 2019, he was also crowned junior world champion on the rings.
