DATAide

DATAide was launched in 2022 by Centraide of
Greater Montreal, the Centraides of Quebec, and the
Ministère du Travail, de l’Emploi et de la Solidarité
sociale. This initiative strengthens the skills and
leadership of community agencies so that they can
launch successful digital transformation projects.
In October 2024, the Phase 1 evaluation confirmed
how big these benefits are:
— 1,360 agencies participated in 12 webinars

— 332 grants awarded
— 500 hours of support provided to 78 agencies

— A space created for people to work collectively
on their digital projects

DATAide entered its Phase 2 this year with financial support from the
Ministère de l’Emploi et de la Solidarité sociale. The program now has
three complementary components: introduction to digital transformation,

planning a digital transformation project, and leadership and innovation.
In a major addition, CSMO-ÉSAC joined the DATAide team as a partner
alongside Open North and Centraide of Greater Montreal to enhance
support for community agencies.
