One step further for culture: Fondation Dynastie joins the race
Montreal, June 9, 2025 – For the second consecutive year, Fondation Dynastie is proud to participate in the Du cœur à la course initiative of the Beneva Montreal Marathon. This initiative allows organizations to raise funds while highlighting their mission. What’s our mission? To move culture forward and raise $50,000 while doing it.
Culture and sport, same fight
Culture and sport are two powerful engines of empowerment, belonging, and social transformation. Two worlds that share strong values: discipline, perseverance, self-improvement, and collective impact.
In a context where artists and creators from Black communities struggle to find the necessary resources to shine, every step our team takes is a tangible act of solidarity. Supporting culture is a marathon too: a collective effort that requires endurance, commitment, and above all, solidarity.
“We run because we refuse to stay still. Culture is in crisis, funding is becoming increasingly scarce. Every year, we struggle to keep our heads above water. But instead of giving up, we run. Every donation, every kilometer, every effort is a statement. We want a Quebec where culture continues to inspire, question, and unite. And we invite everyone to take one more step with us.” - Carla Beauvais, Executive Director, Fondation Dynastie
A committed and motivated team!
This fundraising campaign aims to support the development of mentorship, professionalization, and support programs for artists from diverse backgrounds led by Fondation Dynastie. Donations will also help sustain our events recognizing Black communities and strengthen our team dedicated to implementing our programs by securing the continuity of key positions. This operational stability is essential to continue our work on the ground, support racialized artists, and ensure ongoing concrete opportunities for training, mentorship, and professional development.
To carry this mission forward, we have a motivated team ready to run for culture!
“I’m not a great runner, but I deeply believe in what we’re doing here.It’s a collective effort to say: we care about our culture. So if running a few kilometers can help make a difference, I’m here, and I’m going all in.” — Fiona Koullayes, Community manager and content and digital marketing creator at Fondation Dynastie
