At the Luc Maurice Foundation, we believe that aging is a privilege and we want a maximum of Quebecers to enjoy this phase of their lives. If the seniors are happy, our entire society benefits, and we can find inspiration in the experience of the elderly citizens.

A year of progress

Already our 7th annual report... how time flies at the Luc Maurice Foundation! Born from the vision and determination of a passionate advocate for seniors, Luc Maurice, this Foundation now brings together community organizations, researchers, employees, residents, business partners, elected officials and many others – all united in advancing our mission.

Looking back at how far we’ve come and measuring the impact of our actions fills us with pride. It gives us hope and motivates us to continue our efforts to address the many challenges still facing older adults.

There’s a well-known saying: “Alone, we go faster; together, we go further.” This adage perfectly captures our journey in recent years. With this mindset, in 2023 the Foundation set out to increase the number of individuals and organizations committed to supporting older adults. This commitment continued into 2024, a year marked by new agreements with donor partners who share our vision of a more caring and resilient society where aging is a privilege.

Innovation has also been a priority we set for 2024. We’ve therefore intensified our efforts in developing three signature projects: two major university research initiatives to expand our knowledge about older adults, and a school-based program aimed at combating ageism from an early age. We take particular pride in these projects as they address urgent needs that, until now, had not been supported by any other foundation.

Our commitment to expanding our network and launching new initiatives kept us busy throughout the year. Yet, this didn’t prevent us from continuing the tradition established by Le Groupe Maurice in 1999: supporting various grassroots organizations that work daily with older adults. In 2024, over 100 organizations benefited from our support for projects aligned with our five axes: ageism, isolation, socialization, health and seniors’ personal involvement in society.

Exciting initiatives are on the horizon for 2025, which we will have the pleasure of rolling out under the leadership of a new managing direction. Indeed, after seven years of dedicated service at the helm of the Foundation, Matias Duque has chosen to continue his career with another organization. On this note, we extend our deepest gratitude for his commitment and devotion, which helped shape the identity and the very essence of the Luc Maurice Foundation. We also wish to express our sincere appreciation to the many individuals, organizations and businesses that supported us in 2024. Your contributions have been instrumental in accelerating progress toward a world where aging is a positive and fulfilling experience.

Finally, a heartfelt thank you to the extended Le Groupe Maurice family – your unwavering support gives us the momentum to keep moving forward! Happy reading to you all.
