Fondation d'Entreprise Georges Truffaut supports projects that use gardening and contact with nature to educate, include, and improve well-being across generations. Its grants strongly favor local, hands-on initiatives near Truffaut stores as well as larger national projects that can be replicated across France, especially those linking plants, biodiversity, therapeutic gardening, and social inclusion. Nonprofits are most likely to succeed when they can show practical community impact, collaboration with local Truffaut teams, and clear educational or social benefits from a nature-based project.
Mix of small local grants under €2,000 for proximity projects and larger national grants for scalable projects. Local 'Chantiers Nature' decisions are made year-round by local store teams and the foundation, while 'Grands projets à essaimer' are reviewed twice yearly by a projects committee (June and December).

For local projects, ensure the site is within about one hour of a Truffaut store and frame the request around gardening, biodiversity, inclusion, or therapeutic use of nature; these are reviewed continuously. For larger national projects, emphasize scalability and replication potential and plan for the June or December committee cycles. Keep requests practical and modest for proximity projects, and highlight any collaboration with Truffaut employees or local partners.
