It has been 10 years now since the Fonds commun des SADC (Common Fund) was created to provide Réseau members access to capital by pooling members' assets. Its success has made it a vehicle that generates additional capital designed to better match the response to community needs.

The Common Fund is a powerful tool that supports CFDCs and CBDCs in their operations and has, since 2007, helped create the Business Support Fund and the Business Succession and Start-Up Funds, with investments totalling over $32 million.

Board of Directors composed of CFDC and CBDC representatives:

Raymond Cimon, Chairman, SADC de l'Amiante

Gratien Ouellet, 1^st Vice-President, SADC Lac-Saint-Jean-Ouest

Donald Lavallée, 2^nd Vice-President, SADC Pontiac CFDC

Gilles Goulet, Treasurer, SADC de la MRC de Rivière-du-Loup
