Founded in 1999, the FGM is modeled after the 700-odd community foundations that already exist in Canada and the United States.

The FGM differs from other charitable organizations in that it builds endowment funds, the revenues from which are used to support charitable work in a number of areas, primarily health, education, social development, arts and culture, and the environment. Donations to the FGM thus serve the Greater Montreal community in perpetuity.
