dedicated pillars shaping a caring and inclusive future
A Donor Leader is someone who chooses to make a meaningful commitment to their community by giving an annual donation of $1,200 or more to Centraide Richelieu-Yamaska. Thanks to their generosity, these leaders of change help fund hundreds of concrete initiatives that break isolation, support families, foster youth success, and strengthen the social safety net across our region.
A Leader’s donation is far more than a dollar amount — it’s a powerful gesture of hope, one that transforms lives and helps build a more just and united community.

The Donor Leader Challenge Fund is a new initiative that empowers businesses to become key partners of Centraide Richelieu-Yamaska by creating a powerful leverage effect to boost Donor Leader contributions.
When a business contributes $10,000 or more to the Fund, that amount is used to match donations from new Donor Leaders ($1,200 and up) or to enhance existing contributions.
A few examples:
- A new Donor Leader who gives $1,200 will see their donation doubled — for a total impact of $2,400.
- A current Donor Leader who increases their donation by 10% will have that increase matched 100%.
Our goal?
To reach $100,000 by 2027 — a milestone that will directly support local community projects.
Each major contribution creates a ripple effect, amplifying the collective impact for the Richelieu-Yamaska community.
