Taking action with actors closest to the ground and familiar with the facts

With its six regional foundations, Fondation de France helps you contribute to your area’s development. Our 530 volunteers, all specialists in their field (education, very elderly people, social work etc.) identify, analyze and monitor the projects to be supported. Their work closely mirrors social, economic, cultural and environmental issues.

Donations to local programs and the creation of an area-based foundation are some of the ways we help you customize philanthropy projects that really speak to you and that you, your staff and all your local stakeholders can take the measure of.

Local networks for greater impact

When you engage with Fondation de France for the benefit of your region, you join a collective of local stakeholders, who are ready to pool their strengths to boost their impact significantly. This is precisely what Fondation Territoriale de Marseille did, when four entrepreneurs from the region decided to put their ideas, their resources and their network together, by creating this Fondation de France donor-advised fund.

The same momentum created Fondation Territoriale des Lumières, led by nine companies wishing to improve living conditions for the residents of the mining areas in the North of France. This initiative also inspired the creation of Fondation Reflets d’Opale in the same region. It was set up by some twenty companies to support projects in the social, healthcare, culture, education and integration fields.
