No child should suffer from abuse.
And yet, this painful reality persists.

Founded in 2006 by Susanne Legault-Bourcheix and her family, MA Fondation has a mission to prevent violence against children, alleviate their suffering, and break the silence. Through its donations, the non-profit supports organizations that operate directly with young victims, including the Marie-Vincent Foundation, Covenant House, the socio-legal pediatric clinic of CHU Sainte-Justine, and many more engaged partners.

In 2025, Susanne shares her dream proudly with her grandchildren, including her eldest granddaughter, who will contribute to this non-profit through her role as vice-president. Together, they are pursuing the same commitment: to build a safer and more caring future for all children.

About Us

Our mission

Prevent. Relieve. Break the silence.

MA Fondation has the goal to prevent abuse towards children, relieve young victims’ suffering, and sensitize people to the long-term consequences of this violence.

We believe that every child deserves to grow up in a safe, dignified, and respectful environment. Through donations, we offer financial support to organizations of distinction, including:

• CHU Sainte-Justine’s socio-legal pediatric clinic, which provides medical, social and judicial care to child victims of physical or sexual abuse;
• The Marie-Vincent Foundation, through its Expertise Center, which offers complete guidance: medical, psychosocial, police, and legal to young victims of sexual abuse and to their families;
• Covenant House, which supports youth in vulnerable situations.

Our Team

MA Fondation relies on an intergenerational engagement and a team united by a shared mission: to prevent violence towards children and support young victims.
