The Fondation de France is active in all the fields of public interest – in national and international solidarity, health and medical research, culture and environment. Programs are constantly adapted to respond to the most urgent needs of society.

Closely involved in the local sphere, we aim at being attentive to the problems of each and everyone. We favor autonomy over assistance, with the conviction that all people have the resources within themselves to be actors in the solving of their problems.

 

There are three core values guiding our actions:

• the fight against isolation, which is the main factor of exclusion;
• local action, to help rebuild the social link within the community;
• respect for the dignity of individuals.

There are three stages in a program: support, assessment and valorization.

We rely on Committees of Experts to select the projects to be supported in our programs.

We promote exchanges of expertise in sectors where innovative experiments are emerging. After the implementation, the results are evaluated and the teachings disseminated, so that other financiers may take over. For more than 80% of the supported organizations, the assistance of the Fondation de France gives a boost to getting their projects going.
