We believe strongly in the work that we do.

We are committed to giving a voice to children with hearing loss. Auditory-verbal education requires many resources—money and technology, but also patience, perseverance, expertise, and, most of all, time. Our Foundation grants funding to Résonance Montréal to provide families with many of the resources they need to give their child the best chance for success in life.

Founded in 2001, the MOSD Foundation raises funds to help the school support more families throughout their child’s academic career. The Foundation permits the school staff and families to focus on what matters most: teaching a child with hearing loss to listen and speak.

Fundraising for children with hearing loss

Résonance Montréal is supported by the MOSD Foundation, an independently governed charitable organization led by a volunteer Board of Directors and dedicated staff. Through donations from individuals, corporations, granting foundations, and annual fundraising events, the Foundation provides essential funding that allows the school to deliver specialized services to children with hearing loss.

Thanks to this support, Résonance Montréal can offer more families the tools they need to navigate the challenges of hearing loss. The Foundation’s efforts help ensure that children are empowered with language and given the opportunity to develop their full potential.
