Caisses Desjardins du Québec and Caisses populaires de l'Ontario [Change site]
Community development
The caisse has a help fund that serves to redistribute a portion of the cooperative's surplus earnings to the community. Following a proposal by the Board of Directors, members decide, during the Annual General Meeting, what portion of the surplus earnings will be paid into the help fund. With the help of the caisse, members can support causes that are important to them.
The members who sit on the Board of Directors manage the help fund. Every year, they report on the fund during the Annual General Meeting.
In 2003, the members of the Caisse populaire Desjardins de la Maison de Radio-Canada agreed to contribute $25,000 to the Community Development Fund. Every year, the Caisse pays $25,000 into the help fund.
