Social sponsorships

Involved in the community

Through its donations, the SAQ supports organizations in the fields of health, culture, education, humanitarian and food assistance. By partnering with Food Banks of Quebec, the fight against hunger has become the SAQ's corporate cause.

Did you know? Since 2009, the SAQ is proud to be a partner of Food Banks of Quebec. To date, nearly $19 million has been raised for the cause.

Food and humanitarian assistance

Because before drinking well, it is essential to have enough to eat, the SAQ is involved in the fight against hunger by supporting the Food Banks of Quebec (BAQ) and the Tablée des Chefs. It also supports several charitable organizations that shine across Quebec, such as the Canadian Red Cross and Entraide.

Health

The SAQ offers its support to hospital foundations, university hospital centers and palliative care homes. It is also a major player in the Éduc’alcool Fund, for which it collects and pays nearly four million dollars each year, on behalf of the Quebec alcoholic beverage industry.

Education

With the development of Quebec knowledge at heart, the SAQ supports a dozen organizations in the education field and invests in research and training in sectors that are key to its operations, such as the retail trade and the beer, wine and spirits industry.

Culture

Each year, the SAQ encourages local artists and creators who work within cultural institutions and emerging organisations by donating products as part of benefit activities for museums, orchestras and opera houses, theater troupes or of dance.
