As a result of the challenges brought on by the pandemic, the Institute appealed to the generosity of donors to support its research efforts by creating the IRIC Emergency Fund. Thanks to the backing of all of the philanthropists, more than $350,000 was raised.

IRIC would like to point out the exceptional mobilization of its community, including its Board of Directors, the 2020 Audacious Cabinet, the IRIC Young Philanthropists, as well as the many partners of the Blais Family Fund. A very special thank you to Pomerleau Inc. for its remarkable contribution, as well as to the Marcelle and Jean Coutu Foundation for its generous donation.
