The bequest: a unique project extending life’s meaning
Bequests and life insurance
Why make a bequest? How? With which guarantees? We often hear these questions at the Fondation de France. And we understand. Nothing is more legitimate than to wonder about the impact of engaging the best of oneself: altruism, generosity, self-sacrifice.
That requires absolute trust. With the Fondation de France, you are guaranteed that your trust will be respected. Our teams work alongside you and your notary to define your project and bring it to life.
By making a bequest to the Fondation de France, you will receive:
- the assurance that your chosen cause will be effectively served
- by supporting one of our 21 programs
- by creating your own sheltered foundation
- the guarantee that each of your wishes will be strictly respected
