Desjardins Credit Union [Change site]

In 2008, Desjardins Group joined forces with La Coop fédérée and Fédération de la relève agricole du Québec to help young farmers.
As Quebec's leading financial institution, Desjardins continues to show how much it supports young farmers, entrepreneurship and education.
With the Desjardins Farm Transfer Grant component, Desjardins offers each of the young prize winners (ages 18 to 40) financial support through $8,000 in principal payment reductions. The prize winners will be chosen for excellence in their roles as entrepreneurial managers and visionaries.
The awards ceremony will take place during the Desjardins Entrepreneur Awards gala, held during Cooperation Week, in October 2012. This event will be a unique opportunity for young farmers to network with business people in various sectors of the economy.
Best of luck!
You are our future and you do us proud!
