The Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation is an independent, non-partisan Canadian registered charity. It was created in 2001 as a living memorial to the late former prime minister. The Foundation supports cutting-edge research in the humanities and social sciences, ensuring concrete tie-ins with issues that affect our everyday lives. It supports students pursuing a PhD, honours top researchers and establishes strong connections with leading figures in the professional field. By fostering collaboration between the Scholars, Fellows and Mentors who receive our support, the Foundation brings together exceptional leaders who work together to find tangible solutions to the key challenges of our time.<\/p>

The Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation\/Fondation Pierre Elliott Trudeau was created in 2001 under Part II of the Canada Corporations Act. On May 30, 2014, the Foundation was continued under section 211 of the Canada Not-for-Profit Corporations Act. The Foundation is registered as a charitable organization with the Canada Revenue Agency. Its registration number is 895438919RR0001.<\/p>

In 2024, the Foundation implemented important governance changes to enhance its independence. The bylaws were updated, and representatives of both the family of Pierre Elliott Trudeau and the Government of Canada formally ended their roles in the Foundation\u2019s governance.<\/p>

The Foundation has been subject to the Access to Information Act and to the Privacy Act since 1 April 2007. The Foundation submits its reports on these matters to Parliament through the Minister of Industry Canada.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation supports the advancement of outstanding, cutting-edge PhD\u00a0students, researchers and public intellectuals. Our goal is to position our Scholars, Fellows, and Mentors to have meaningful impacts in their communities, institutions and beyond. For over two decades, the Foundation has promoted advanced studies in the humanities and social sciences and supported outstanding PhD\u00a0students and researchers, encouraging critical reflection and action.<\/p>

Through its scholarship, fellowship, mentorship, and public interaction programs, the Foundation supports critical thinkers who make a significant contribution to solving crucial public issues. Since being established, the Foundation has granted hundreds of major awards to top researchers and highly accomplished individuals, 327 Scholarships, has appointed 98 Fellows and has nominated 169 Mentors.<\/p>

The Foundation is governed by a highly distinguished Board of up to 18\u00a0directors. The directors oversee the endowment, and they set policies and program directions for the Foundation.<\/p>

All awards granted by the Foundation follow a rigorous and at arm\u2019s length nomination and selection review process. The Foundation\u2019s website contains additional information at www.trudeaufoundation.ca<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The Foundation is dedicated to the delivery of four core programs: three funding programs targeted towards Scholars, Fellows, and Mentors, and a Public Interaction Program, intended to achieve knowledge acquisition, transfer, and exchange among our program beneficiaries and the public. The Foundation\u2019s annual activity cycle revolves around these four main programs.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Up to sixteen Scholarships are awarded each year to support doctoral candidates pursuing research of compelling present-day concern that touches on one or more of the Foundation\u2019s four themes. Trudeau Scholars are highly gifted individuals who are actively engaged in their fields and who are poised to become national and international figures. They are encouraged to work with Mentors and Fellows.<\/p>

Interaction with the Pierre Elliott Trudeau community, non-academic spheres, and the general public is an essential aspect of the Scholarship Program.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation Fellowship program was put on hold in 2024-2025 for one year to allow a rigorous review process. The program had been modified repeatedly over the past 20 years. Our 2024-2025 strategic planning process revealed that a program review was essential. The new Fellowship program will be announced in time for the 2026 nomination process. Up to four Fellows will be chosen for a sharper, clearer and more impactful program than any of its previous iterations. It holds the potential to become a central and transformative dimension of public life and academic research in social sciences and humanities in Canada.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Up to 8-10 Mentors are appointed each year. The Mentorship Program seeks to forge intellectual and personal bonds between renowned Canadians with extensive experience in public life and talented doctoral students. Mentors are drawn from an array of professional backgrounds, including business, public service, law, arts, journalism, and advocacy. They enjoy a nationwide and international reputation based on achievements in their own particular field, and, most importantly, are able to introduce scholars to their networks.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The Public Interaction Program (PIP) is the centrepiece that brings the three grant-giving programs together. With the new 2025-2028 Strategic Plan, the PIP was entirely rebuilt and defined. The PIP will again come to life through a number of annual events, some of which are open to the general public, such as the bi-annual Conference on Public Policy and the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Talks; others, such as a Summer School and a Mentors-Scholars Retreat are limited to our active community members.<\/p>

The PIP events and the travel and research allowance provide unique opportunities to learn and exchange research, ideas, and proposals that focus on specific questions and to share relevant knowledge with colleagues from different disciplines and varied life and cultural backgrounds.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
