Article 47 embodies a new model of philanthropy, unique to Quebec, rooted in a fundamental dynamic of justice, trust, and community.
Supporting Article 47 means making philanthropy a concrete lever for social justice and equity.
We support public education initiatives that aim to raise awareness of the ongoing challenges faced by individuals and peoples resisting settler colonialism and systemic racism.
We provide legal assistance to individuals and communities dealing with the impacts of settler colonialism and systemic racism. This support includes defending the rights and well-being of those affected by these issues.
We created a rapid response fund to provide financial assistance in addressing urgent needs arising from these systemic challenges.
Beneficiaries decide how the funds are used based on their specific needs, thereby avoiding centralized approaches that are often disconnected from local realities.
We document the violence experienced by Black, Indigenous, and racialized communities in order to produce advocacy reports for public decision-makers and international bodies.
We carry out advocacy with government bodies and international institutions to promote inclusive and equitable policies.
We invite funders to join us in supporting an innovative philanthropic model rooted in social justice and equity. By choosing to fund Article 47, you are directly contributing to the building of a more inclusive society.
