Fondation Autonomia supports projects that preserve autonomy for people with disabilities, older adults, and people affected by addiction, with a strong emphasis on social connection, inclusion, and practical everyday support. Its funding is especially centered on France and often backs innovative, field-based initiatives such as inclusive housing, family mediation, caregiver support, digital inclusion, and prevention programs. The foundation also appears to value research and evaluation that can generate actionable lessons for the autonomy sector.
Mostly invite-only thematic grants and program partnerships, with occasional open calls for projects; grants appear to support both pilot initiatives and research/action studies, often in France and sometimes through co-funded collaborations. The foundation favors practical, scalable interventions and evidence-building work over general operating support.

Most programs are invite-only, so applicants should monitor the foundation’s website and partner networks rather than rely on unsolicited proposals. For open calls, like the disability/social-ties program, expect a France-only application process with deadline-driven rounds; proposals should clearly show how the project strengthens autonomy, social ties, and measurable outcomes.
