On September 30, 2009, the Act to establish an early childhood development fund was passed, resulting de facto in the creation of the Société de gestion du fonds pour le développement des jeunes enfants.

A non-profit legal entity, this corporation operating under the name Avenir d'enfants is the result of a partnership between the Quebec Government and the Lucie and André Chagnon Foundation.

Avenir d'enfants will devote $400 million over a 10-year period to implement activities, projects and initiatives that will contribute to the development of children aged five and under, living in poverty. According to article 11 of its Act of Incorporation, Avenir d'enfants is subject to the provisions of the Auditor General Actof Quebec, which stipulates that the latter can proceed with the auditing of its books.
