About Fondation de la Maison de la chasse et de la nature

Fondation de la Maison de la chasse et de la nature (Fondation François Sommer) funds applied conservation work centered on wild fauna, habitat management, and human-wildlife coexistence, with a strong French and European footprint and some international protected-area work through FFS-IGF. It also supports scientific research, PhD theses, and field collaborations with universities, government agencies, and hunting/federation partners, especially where projects can be tested in real landscapes. A distinctive feature is its mix of ecology, land stewardship, and cultural programming, including museum activities and literary awards tied to nature and hunting.

Giving Approach

Primarily invite-only or program-driven support through an annual call for projects and named prizes, with project grants aggregated from a total annual envelope of about EUR 500,000. Funding tends to support applied field research, theses, and conservation management collaborations rather than open-ended general operating support.
