Fondation Hadrien Saiag supports public-interest work that protects and enhances mountain environments, while also helping more people discover and experience the mountains. It also backs early-career research in economics, sociology, and anthropology, especially projects exploring solidarity-based, popular, or egalitarian economic alternatives. The foundation appears to combine environmental/mountain access grants with academic prizes and fieldwork support, with a strong preference for projects tied to France and mountain regions.
Annual, program-based giving through two open calls: a thesis prize and a field research grant. Support is geared toward students and early-career researchers, plus occasional project grants for associations working on mountain access or conservation. The foundation seems to favor targeted, relatively specialized awards rather than open-ended general operating support.

Watch the foundation’s website for annual calls, as the 2026 applications are already open and public deadlines may not be prominently listed. Applicants should clearly connect their work to mountains, field-based inquiry, or mountain access for underserved audiences, and thesis applicants should emphasize solidarity-oriented economic alternatives or interdisciplinary social science methods.
