2025 Fundraising Campaign

Matapédia Jonction Pôle

This fundraising campaign aims to support the first Cap-Gaspésie Residence, which is aimed at young artists in our region.

Thanks to the Mille et Un Youth Fund, by participating in our campaign via the Ruche crowdfunding platform, your donations are doubled!

Thus, the Matapédia Jonction Pôle organization also undertakes to:

• Reserve 50% of its programming for one year for artists aged 30 and under.

• Maintain a dynamic program mixing ideas and cultures;

• offer activities accessible to all in the form of large gatherings or creative workshops for targeted groups;

• Highlight the heritage railway building that is over 120 years old;

Support our online campaign through La Ruche's crowdfunding platform, our Garedematapedia.ca website under the donation tab, by mail, or by phone.
