LAVAL ISLAND OF MONTREAL SOUTH SHORE Our investments in the heart of the community Financial Statements 2013-2014 Mission To maximize financial and volunteer resources so that Centraide—particularly by funding community agencies and working in partnership with them—can promote caring and social involvement in order to improve the quality of life in our community and empower its most vulnerable members to take charge of their lives. Vision To build caring communities throughout Greater Montreal. Centraide wants to make Greater Montreal into a place where the less fortunate have the means to live in dignity. To achieve this aim, it relies on citizens’ capacity for self-reliance and solidarity. 2 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2013-2014 A network that brightens lives In Greater Montreal, nearly one out of six people lives in poverty, a problem that goes hand in hand with social exclusion. Centraide of Greater Montreal is constantly fighting these two social ills, but this fight would not be possible without the volunteers, donors, workplace campaign directors, business leaders and community workers who support us. Everyone—from the people who canvas for donations to the individuals who put these donations to good use— belongs to this vast network of generosity that brightens the lives of those most vulnerable. We thank them all from the bottom of our hearts. In 2013-2014, this collective effort translated into an investment of nearly $47 million in over 360 agencies and projects. In keeping with our goals, we have placed an emphasis on the living conditions of children, youth and families and on the integration of socially excluded people. The problems facing these women and these men are our primary concern, whether their problems relate to food security, access to housing, academic perseverance or the social inclusion of seniors. Centraide has therefore focused on innovative and lasting solutions by allocating funds to projects that target groups such as young children, immigrants and families in disadvantaged neighbourhoods. Centraide bases its investment strategy on a very systematic approach and therefore asks the agencies in a given neighbourhood to coordinate their work around a global vision and clearly defined issues. The committee of volunteers that analyzes funding requests and Centraide’s territorial profiles provides them with a good overview of priority needs and initiatives. In the end, the concerted action of different agencies helps over 500,000 people and families, or one out of seven people in Greater Montreal. We invite you to delve into the heart of this vast network of generosity by reading the very first online edition of our annual report:www.centraide-mtl.org/en/annual-report/ . The goal of this initiative is to reduce Centraide’s environmental footprint. Thanks again to our donors and partners who have made these achievements in our community possible!
