Fondation de France is a large Paris-based umbrella philanthropic foundation that pools donor-advised funds to support a wide range of social, medical, environmental and cultural initiatives in France and internationally. It prioritizes systemic and scalable solutions — especially youth-led innovation, social inclusion, dementia care, climate action and community resilience — and often funds experimental cohorts, competitions and multi-stakeholder collectives rather than one-off project grants. Grants are typically modest and aimed at piloting, replicating or scaling proven interventions through partnership-driven programs.
Makes relatively small, targeted grants and prizes (often €3k–€8k range) through competitive calls, donor-advised pooled funds, themed cohorts and multi-stakeholder 'Action Collectives'; emphasis on pilot funding, prizes, capacity-building and co‑funding to test and scale reproducible models.
