Currently, the Foundation has 20 ambassadors located in our business units in Canada. They are the true voice of the Foundation and participate in finding dynamic ways to grow it in their division: organizing fundraisers, developing partnerships with local organizations, etc.
An active member of family succession, Catherine Gendron, Head of Organizational Culture of the AGF Group, has been responsible for the general management of the Foundation since 2014. By its dynamism, it makes it grow vigorously, year after year.
It is with the feeling of being indebted and the desire to give back to communities that Serge Gendron, a philanthropist at heart, created the Foundation in 2012.
“As a business leader, I believe we have a duty to be involved in the communities in which we operate because they have so greatly contributed to providing us with the education and status that we enjoy today.”
Committed to and passionate about social impact, Marianne Petite is Director of Development and Communications for the AGF Group Foundation. She uses her expertise in strategy and mobilization to promote the Foundation’s mission and strengthen its ties with community partners.
With her vision and ability to listen, she actively contributes to building lasting bridges between the philanthropic world and the needs on the ground.
