 DONORS AND PARTNERS
 A Chair depends mainly on the financial contributions of individuals, companies, associations, foundations and other organizations. Although at the moment, HEC Montreal and a few partners provide us with some financial help, we are in crucial need of new partners to carry on our work and researches.
The Chair in Ethical Management is deeply grateful for the generous financial support of our current donors and partners. We extend our warmest thanks and appreciation for their involvement in our work.
The Chair is currently seeking additional financial support for ongoing research projects. You may choose to make a general donation or you may wish to support a specific research project. The donation levels and specific project needs are outlined below. We also are seeking an organization interested in fully capitalizing and sponsoring the Chair. The Chair would in turn bear the company's name.
As a donor, you will receive regular activity updates, and in the future we will provide you with the Chair's newsletter and access to its written and audio-visual productions. Official tax receipts can be issued on either an individual or corporate-basis.
