Cogir Announces the Launch of Its Foundation in the United States

15 March 2026

Cogir is proud to announce today the official launch of its Foundation in the United States, a separate entity strongly inspired by the Canadian model and guided by the same core values: human focus, creativity, and excellence.

The U.S. Foundation’s mission is to make a positive and tangible difference in the lives of youth and seniors by supporting initiatives that genuinely improve their daily lives. Through targeted actions and a structured approach to its donations, the Foundation aims to maximize the impact of every contribution and support meaningful projects at the heart of the communities where Cogir operates.

“I am very pleased with the launch of the Foundation in the United States. It is an important milestone for our organization. Contributing in a tangible way to improving the lives of youth and seniors in our communities is not only essential, but deeply aligned with our purpose. We believe that by supporting concrete initiatives, we can generate a lasting and meaningful impact,” said Mathieu Duguay, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Investment Officer of Cogir Real Estate.

The Foundation will focus its efforts on causes that promote enriching education and active lifestyles for youth, as well as the maintenance of physical and mental health and the social well-being of seniors. The initiatives supported will be selected based on their reach, measurable impact, and their ability to positively transform the daily lives of beneficiaries.

“We are extremely excited to launch this new facet of our company in the United States. The Foundation represents a natural extension of our commitment to the communities we serve. It is an opportunity to go even further and amplify our human impact,” said Gottfried Ernst, President and Chief Operating Officer of Cogir Senior Living USA.

Like its Canadian counterpart, the U.S. Foundation will establish a grant committee responsible for evaluating applications and selecting the projects to be supported. It also plans to organize fundraising initiatives to mobilize partners, employees, and communities around shared causes.

With this launch, Cogir reaffirms its commitment to creating unique living environments where everyone can thrive and be happy across North America—and to extending this vision beyond its properties and into the very heart of the community.
