There are different ways to honor the memory of a loved one, keep their values alive and celebrate their life. One of these is to organize a fundraising drive in their memory, to benefit a cause supported by Fondation de France, which was dear to them. Your family and friends can join you in this tribute.

Has a loved one, a member of your family, a friend, a neighbor or a colleague passed away? Perhaps you would like to pay tribute to them in a useful way, in line with their engagement. In the Le sens d’une vie website (“A Meaningful Life”), you can honor their memory and suggest poems, notes for the bereaved and speeches, as well as organize a fundraising drive to support nonprofits.

All donations raised are allocated to the cause you choose, which benefits the work of Fondation de France.

Create your fundraising page in three steps

1. Choose the cause you wish to support

You can decide to support a specific cause (medical research, help for elderly people, combating poverty, etc.) or you can opt to let Fondation de France allocate your support to those projects it judges to take priority.

2. Customize your page

Our tip is that you make the initial donation, to start fundraising off. The amount you give also provides a reference point for other donors.

3. Raise your fundraising profile

You control how the page is shared. To raise its profile, you can publish it on social media, share it with family and friends, invite them to also share it, thank them when they make a donation and so on.

Good to know: each person who contributes and is liable to French tax benefits from the deductions afforded to a donation at Fondation de France:

• deduct 66% from your income tax;
• deduct 75% from your real estate wealth tax.
