Thank you for your question, Ms. Chabot.
We are a very small organization and we do our best to keep going with what we have, but there are complications.
Since we have two very different client groups, we do not always meet a number of the criteria for grants, which are either for young people or for seniors. We have received funding under the New Horizons for Seniors Program and the Quebec Age-Friendly Program. Unfortunately, those contributions are for a limited time.
For a small organization, the greatest challenge is obtaining long-term funding. In my opinion, there should be programs specifically for intergenerational volunteerism, given its complexity. I think it is a fascinating solution, for both young people and seniors in our society.
