Fondation Blaise Pascal supports scientific culture in mathematics and computer science, with a strong emphasis on outreach, mediation, and early exposure for young people. Its funding especially targets girls, underserved communities, and projects that broaden access to STEM through schools, clubs, camps, fairs, and hands-on educational activities across France. The foundation appears to favor practical, public-facing initiatives that make math and CS more accessible, inclusive, and engaging rather than pure research projects.
Annual, program-based grantmaking with separate calls for general science-mediation projects and for clubs, stages, and camps. Support is France-focused, excludes Île-de-France sud for these programs, and is likely competitive and theme-specific rather than open-ended; grant sizes are not specified in the available data.
Watch for the two annual calls: the general call opens in October and the clubs/stages/camps call opens in February. Proposals should clearly show how they promote math or computer science culture, reach girls or underserved audiences, and fit the eligible project types and geography; avoid applying with clubs, camps, or summer-school formats to the general call, since those are reserved for the February call.
