STE. ANNE DE BELLEVUE RFC<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

What is now the Ste. Anne de Bellevue Rugby Football Club originated as the Macdonald College rugby team in 1964. Last year (2024) marked the 60th anniversary of the original founding date.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In 1981 the club officially became the Club de Rugby de Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue. The hard work and dedication shown by every player, coach, and volunteer over the last four and a half decades have produced the biggest and most successful rugby club in Quebec, and one with a solid international reputation.<\/p>\n

SABRFC ALUMNI ENDOWMENT FUND<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The SABRFC (Sainte Anne de Bellevue Rugby Football Club) Alumni Endowment Fund is intended to support the operations of the club through disbursements from the fund\u2019s donations, endowment returns, and other contributions. These are to continue the objects of the Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue Rugby Football Club (Fund Sponsor) and are consistent with the broad objects and purposes of the Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue Rugby Football Club, Rugby Canada, and the Canadian Rugby Foundation to develop and grow rugby across Canada while meeting all CRA requirements.<\/p>\n

As the Fund\u2019s name indicates, the fund was set up by a group of dedicated club alumni, past and current men\u2019s and women\u2019s rugby members of the club who are interested in the long-term viability and financial stability of the club. This is to be established through the endowment fund, where the assets donated to the fund are invested in perpetuity with the returns disbursed annually.<\/p>\n

The following are examples of the kinds of projects or uses for which a grant may be approved.<\/p>\n
