FONDATION RBA
The RBA Foundation was established back in 2012 to become involved socially with our communities and to support causes and projects devoted to the well-being of First Nations. As we have been involved with First Nations communities in Quebec since the beginning, our experience allows us to adapt to each of their changing realities. Being partners at the RBA Foundation is supporting over 20 organizations and projects in our communities every year. In the name of the organizations we support, we thank you 1,100,000 times.
Every year, the Foundation supports on average 27 organizations and projects, all devoted to improving the well being of First Nations across Quebec. We maintain a tight-knit relation with four of these organizations as they have become major partners ten years ago.
Founded by First Nations for the benefit of their youth in 2010, the New Pathways Foundation works for the future and the well-being of First Nations youth in Quebec. Its mission is to help young people reach their full potential and be confident in a better future through a strong identity. Whether on or off the community, the New Pathways Foundation creates positive hands-on experiences that reflect First Nations’ youth.
Through its mobile studios, Wapikoni offers workshops in audiovisual
creation directly within Indigenous communities, or remotely via virtual studios. By providing personalized support in the form of mentorship to Indigenous talent, Wapikoni contributes to their personal, creative, and professional development, while promoting the empowerment of their communities.
Wapikoni also provides a distribution service dedicated to promoting their works across Canada and around the world, fostering the
transfer of knowledge and raising awareness of the realities of First Nations.
Since its founding in 2004, Wapikoni has visited 84 Indigenous communities, northern villages, and cities, including 52 in Canada (40 of which are in Quebec) and 32 internationally, reaching a total of 36 Nations (20 in Canada, including 10 in Quebec, and 16 internationally).
Puamun Meshkenu (Path of a Thousand Dreams) is an organization working to develop the full potential of Indigenous people by promoting the concepts of holistic health, Aboriginal identity and student retention. The organization, founded by Dr. Stanley Vollant in 2016, launches projects that will have lasting impacts on many First Nations children and structuring effects across Aboriginal communities in Quebec.

Since 1994, Breakfast Club of Canada has been nourishing children's potential by ensuring they have access to a healthy breakfast at school, in a welcoming and inclusive environment. The Club is constantly on the lookout for sustainable ways of reaching out to more children in Indigenous communities to support youth, adult and community empowerment by opting for culturally and nutritionally appropriate food. The Club supports innovative, holistic approaches. They also track, record, and share progress, challenges and successes as well as engage the philanthropic community.
