About This Cause
The J. Armand Bombardier Foundation, a private family foundation, was established in 1965 to carry on the humanitarian work of Joseph-Armand Bombardier and contribute toward the realization of Bombardier’s vision of social responsibility. The Bombardier Corporation has supported the Foundation since its beginning, by transferring a percentage of its pre-tax income. In the years since its creation, the Foundation has contributed more than $93 million in support of organizations and institutions that are active in four key areas: Education, Community Support, Healthcare, as well as Arts and Culture. Culturally, the Foundation also plays a very important role through the J. Armand Bombardier Museum, which preserves the memory of the famous inventor, and the Yvonne Bombardier Cultural Centre, devoted to showcasing the value of arts and culture.
