The Michaëlle Jean Foundation is a Canadian non-profit organization that encourages communities to use art and creativity to stimulate and enhance citizen participation and dialogue with a particular emphasis on youth.
The objectives of the Foundation are, among others, to: raise awareness, and leverage the creative power, of the arts to generate a more socially harmonious, civically engaged and innovative Canada; enhance collaborative linkages and networks connecting the arts and creative communities with other sectors of society; promote local and national initiatives to create a new discourse and branding around Canadian culture that better communicate the value of the arts and creativity to the broader public; and contribute to empowering youth and emerging artists in their efforts to use art as a tool to address challenges facing their neighborhoods and communities.
To achieve these ends, the Foundation will provide programming in the areas of creative communities, youth action and democracy. The programming will, thus, bring together support for community initiatives, discussion forums and the promotion of citizen participation through social media.
- Audit findings by the recipient during the reporting year, and future plan
- No audit project completed in 2019–2020 and no specific audit project planned in 2020–2021.
- Evaluation findings by the recipient during the reporting year, and future plan
-
The Michaëlle Jean Foundation has never been evaluated (new program).
Due to the impacts of COVID-19, the Evaluation Services Directorate has had to limit its activities in order to allow programs to administer the Emergency Support Fund for Cultural, Heritage and Sport Organizations. Consequently, the 2020–21 to 2024–25 Departmental Evaluation Plan has had to be revised. The evaluation completion date will therefore be determined once Canadian Heritage announces the end of its business continuity plan and the Directorate is fully operational again.

In 2019–2020, the Michaëlle Jean Foundation continued to build upon its projects and programming, placing an emphasis on the power of art, culture, education and innovation. The Foundation provided opportunities to strengthen initiatives, practices and citizen interventions carried out by youth who reject exclusion, racism and discrimination and who demand justice and equity. To do so, in cities across Canada, the Foundation brought youth together for jam sessions aimed at creating a coherent national strategy in favour of a more inclusive society.
In 2019–20, the Michaëlle Jean Foundation received the last grant payment as the agreement with the Department ended in March 2020.
