About Fondation Cassous

Fondation Cassous is a corporate foundation associated with Groupe Cassous that supports public-interest projects mainly in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, with an emphasis on close-to-home philanthropy and projects sponsored by company employees. It appears to prioritize small associations working on professional insertion, environmental protection, and development/solidarity initiatives, including some international projects tied to development. The foundation is distinctive for its local footprint and employee-engaged approach rather than broad, open-ended grantmaking.

Giving Approach

Program-based grants through a corporate foundation hosted by Fondation de France, with selections made twice a year (typically around June and December). Funding is aimed mainly at small associations and appears to favor proximity projects and initiatives endorsed by Groupe Cassous employees.

How to approach this funder

Monitor the foundation’s semiannual selection periods, usually in June and December, and tailor proposals to one of the three priority areas: insertion, environment, or development/solidarity. Emphasize local relevance in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, small-association capacity, and any connection to Groupe Cassous staff sponsorship or proximity philanthropy.
