The Community Development Fund serves to redistribute a portion of the cooperative's surplus earnings to the community. Following a proposal by the board of directors, during the annual general meeting, members decide what portion of the surplus earnings will be paid into the community fund. Through their caisse, members can support causes that are important to them.

Members who sit on the board of directors manage the community fund. Every year, they report on the fund at the annual general meeting.

Caisse Desjardins de la MRC de Montmagny practices intercooperation whenever possible and, with a view to maximizing the scope of its efforts, regularly joins forces with the following caisses:

• Caisse Desjardins du Nord de L’Islet
• Caisse Desjardins du Sud de L'Islet et des Hautes-Terres

Desjardins can help you settle in Montmagny-L'Islet

Caisse populaire Desjardins de Montmagny is concerned about housing and strives to help families and workers become homeowners. As such, the Caisse started a homebuyer's program and invited caisses in the MRC de Montmagny and de l'Islet communities to join the program.

The homebuyer's program was created to:

• Make it easier for local families and workers to buy a home.
• Encourage new owners or renters to settle in the Montmagny-L'Islet region.
• Promote the construction of multiple-unit dwellings and attract real estate developers.
