Scots care! Support the St. Andrew's Society
Founded in 1835, the St Andrew’s Society of Montreal is a charitable society dedicated to the assistance of all Montrealers and to the preservation of Scottish arts and culture.
The St. Andrew's Society is proud to help charities that support Scots and other Montrealers. Through various fundraising events, we assist a number of institutions including the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital and the Douglas Hospital Foundation. We also provide grants for special cultural projects, bursaries for over fifty post-secondary students annually, and emergency assistance to Scots in need. The St. Andrew’s Society is a major sponsor of the McGill Chair of Canadian-Scottish Studies.
Tax receipts will be issued for all donations.
