Avenir d'enfants is a non-profit organization (NPO) that provides support to local communities mobilized to foster the overall development of children aged five and under living in poverty, so that every child has the chance to benefit from a good start in life.

A joint initiative of the Quebec Government and the Lucie and André Chagnon Foundation, Avenir d'enfants was founded with the mission of offering guidance and financial support to collective actions and community-developed projects.

To reinforce this action strategy, Avenir d'enfants promotes knowledge sharing by supporting initiatives that enhance the knowledge and know-how required to promote the well-being of children and their families.

Avenir d'enfants is financed by public and private funds and managed by a board of directors.
