In 1901, Desjardins Group founder Alphonse Desjardins developed the concept of school caisse. School caisse is the first step in young people's financial lives. Caisse du Bassin-de-Chambly is pleased to partner with local schools to offer the service to all young savers.
Each year, 400 students in 2 elementary schools have the opportunity to see their savings grow with the service.
The caisse is proud to have generated an interest in the program among students and rewarded them with a backpack.
The Project Factory is designed to help elementary and secondary schools in Quebec and Ontario carry out school projects and extracurricular activities.
Using a secure account, schools and project leaders can manage fundraisers for all kinds of projects in just a few clicks.
The Project Factory is also so much more than a crowdfunding site. It offers valuable educational resources to promote financial literacy and get people excited about supporting school projects.
It was also designed with parents' concerns in mind, providing a platform that is safe for kids to use.

Each year, the caisse awards scholarships to young people attending local schools.
Caisse Desjardins du Bassin-de-Chambly also contributes to Desjardins Foundation, which was created by Desjardins Group in 1970. The Foundation's mission consists of promoting the pursuit of post-secondary studies by awarding scholarships by region.
