I am happy to say the Foundation has experienced tremendous growth this past year. The Douglas Institute has become the gold standard in mental health research and care in Quebec, and it is in no small part thanks to the support of our donors. We are happy to share these successes with you.
Please find enclosed the Douglas Foundation’s Annual Impact Report, which outlines how donor support is behind us every step of the way. Your support matters more than you might realize. Most importantly, it demonstrates that we are not alone in our dedication to pursuing innovative research and delivering compassionate care to those who need it most.
I want to thank you once more for your generosity. Together, we are building hope for all those whose lives have been affected by mental illness.
*Please note that the Foundation’s offices are closed from December 22 to January 2, 2024 inclusively.
Happy Holidays,
Laura Fish, President and CEO
