Each of us has the capacity to serve the general interest. This conviction has been driving Fondation de France for the past 50 years. Every day, the association fosters and channels the desire to act, with one simple aim: to turn this wish into useful and effective action to build a fairer and more dignified society. 

Fondation de France has developed unique expertise by working alongside the best experts, hundreds of volunteers and thousands of professionals in the field, in all areas of public interest: support for vulnerable people, medical research, environmental concerns, culture, education, etc. Fondation de France acts in two ways: through its own action programs and by supporting the work of the 841 foundations under its aegis. It supports almost 10,000 projects every year.

Fondation de France is the leading philanthropic network in France, operating in all regions. As an independent and private institution, it receives no subsidies and relies solely on the generosity of its donors and testators.
