Réseau pour un Québec Famille

What Réseau pour un Québec Famille does

Réseau pour un Québec Famille (RPQF) is a provincial non-profit influence, consultation, and capacity-building organization founded in 1984 and headquartered in Brossard, Quebec. It serves as the sole umbrella body coordinating 25 national family-oriented networks and associations across Quebec, spanning sectors such as childcare, paternity support, respite care, perinatal services, breastfeeding support, mental health, and caregiver support. The organization does not deliver services directly to families; instead, it acts as a convener, policy advocate, and capacity-builder for its member organizations, which collectively reach over 2.3 million Quebec families.

RPQF's two flagship initiatives are the Semaine québécoise des familles (SQF), an annual awareness event held each May around the International Day of Families (now in its 31st edition in 2026), and Concilivi, a comprehensive work-family reconciliation initiative comprising the Sceau Concilivi certification (launched 2019), the Centre d'expertise, the Répertoire de ressources CFT, and a training catalogue. The organization also runs the Journéée nationale des beaux-parents (since 2021), the Sommet de la Famille (2018), and thematic working groups such as the Chantier sur l'accès aux services pour les familles. RPQF engages in policy advocacy through electoral platforms (Plateforme 2026), open letters in major Quebec media, and direct engagement with provincial ministries, including the recent mobilization of 167 organizations against the abolition of the Conseil de gestion de l'assurance parentale.

The organization is funded primarily through government grants from the Ministère de la Famille du Québec, CNESST, the Secrétariat à la Condition Féminine, the Fondation Lucie et André Chagnon, and research partnerships (INRS), supplemented by modest membership dues ($160/year per member). It employs approximately 11 staff and is governed by a board of 8 directors. Historically, it operated the PSF-CFT program (2019–2023), which channeled $1.2M–$1.8M annually in grants to 48–78 employer organizations for work-family balance initiatives; this program was discontinued in 2023-24. Note: the analysis is grounded entirely in the input data; the organization does not operate as a technology company and has no disclosed AI or proprietary software capabilities.

Others

• La Maison bleue: Quebec non-profit providing perinatal care to vulnerable families. Adjacent because it is a member of RPQF and a frontline service provider rather than a coordinating umbrella body.
• Institut du Nouveau Monde: Quebec civic engagement think tank focused on democratic participation and policy. Adjacent because both produce policy briefs and convenings in Quebec, but INM operates in broader civic engagement rather than family-specific issues.
• L'Appui pour les proches aidants: Quebec non-profit supporting caregivers and their families. Adjacent because it is itself a member organization of RPQF focused on a specific sub-segment (caregivers) rather than transversal family policy coordination.
• Conseil du statut de la femme: Quebec government agency advising on women's rights and gender equality with significant overlap in family policy concerns. Adjacent because it is a government body rather than an independent non-profit, but operates in closely related policy territory.
• Fondation Lucie et André Chagnon: Major Quebec private foundation focused on preventing poverty and promoting educational success for youth. Adjacent because it is a major funder of RPQF and operates in family-related fields, but functions as a grantmaker rather than a coordinating body.
• Regroupement pour la Valorisation de la Paternité: Quebec organization promoting father involvement in family life. Adjacent because it is an RPQF member focused on a specific dimension of family life rather than transversal family policy.

Direct peers

• Vanier Institute of the Family: National Canadian research and policy organization dedicated to the well-being of families. Directly comparable as both share the mandate of family-focused research, policy advocacy, and convening stakeholders to influence family policy in Canada.
