Fondation santé Jonquière

What Fondation santé Jonquière does

Fondation santé Jonquière is a non-profit charitable foundation established in 1985 in Jonquière, Quebec, Canada, operating as the principal fundraising vehicle for healthcare facilities in the Jonquière territory of the CIUSSS du Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean. The foundation raises and disburses funds to acquire specialized medical equipment (mammographs, cardiac echographers, medication dispensers), fund special projects outside of government budgets, and support rehabilitation and patient comfort programs across Hôpital de Jonquière, CHSLDs, CLSCs, and rehabilitation centers. Since inception, it has distributed nearly $10 million CAD to these facilities.

The foundation operates a diversified portfolio of recurring fundraising programs: an annual golf tournament (32nd edition), a monthly LOTO-FONDATION lottery with $2,500–$5,000 prizes, an inclusive Marathon partagé du Saguenay, L'Autre Défi (14th edition with 550+ participants raising $52,733), La Route du bleuet rose motorcycle tour, and a planned giving program. It also runs healthcare service programs directly: EN FORME (free 12-week physical activity program for breast cancer patients, twice-weekly kinesiology sessions), MREM (mental health and addiction rehabilitation via physical activity, nutrition, and art therapy, funded by Rio Tinto), BOURSACTIVE (bursaries for people with physical, intellectual disabilities or autism spectrum disorder), and the Oncosaglac.com information platform for cancer patients.

The organization runs a lean operation of 3–4 permanent staff (a general manager, an events and communications coordinator, and an administrative assistant) supplemented by volunteers and a board of directors. Revenue is generated entirely through charitable donations, event registration fees, lottery sales, payroll deductions from CIUSSS employees, and planned giving vehicles; no proprietary technology is developed, and donation processing relies on third-party platforms (Donor Perfect, Zeffy, Enos). The foundation is governed independently with no parent organization, subsidiary, or institutional investor, and is regulated under Quebec's non-profit framework.
