FAQ
What type of initiatives are eligible?
Desjardins Foundation Prizes are meant to support teachers and community workers who are committed to making a difference in the lives of young people as they pursue their education. The initiatives submitted should contribute to motivation, self-esteem, association with peers, healthy lifestyles, safety, physical or mental well-being, or any other decisive factor.
Can I make changes to my application once it's been submitted?
Unfortunately, no. You can't make any changes to your initiative once it's been submitted.
I won a Desjardins Foundation Prize but haven't received my cheque yet. How come?
The Desjardins caisse or Desjardins Insurance agent in your region will contact you by the end of February to send you the prize. If you haven't heard from them yet, contact us.
Can I find out how my application was assessed and why my initiative wasn't selected?
Unfortunately, we don't share this information.
