About us

Our mission

The Aphasia House Foundation (AHF) was created to provide financial support for projects carried out by the Association québécoise des personnes aphasiques (AQPA) and to provide a home for people with aphasia. 

À compter de 2025, la Fondation continuera d’aider l’AQPA, mais orientera aussi ses dons vers la Maison de l’aphasie, devenue un organisme à but non lucratif (OBNL).Elle offrira un milieu de vie adapté à leurs besoins à des personnes aphasiques à faibles revenus.

Depending on its means, the AHF plans to also assist organizations that support people with aphasia.

A non-profit corporation under Part III of the Companies Act (L.Q., c. C-38), the AHF is a recognized charity registered with the Canada Revenue Agency, where it is listed as a public foundation.
