Fondation Notre-Dame supports social inclusion projects in France, with a strong emphasis on solidarity, education, employment and training, food assistance, and the reintegration of migrants and other vulnerable people. It appears especially interested in practical, locally delivered nonprofit initiatives—often in Paris and Île-de-France—that provide direct support, accompaniment, and pathways back to work or stability. The foundation also runs targeted thematic funds, including one for caregivers and an emergency fund for crisis response, suggesting a blend of regular project grants and responsive, issue-specific support.
Gives through an open project-submission process plus dedicated thematic funds; support is typically for association-led projects in France, with some priority on Paris/Île-de-France. Funding appears to be programmatic and often annual or campaign-based, including emergency grants for urgent needs and targeted awards for specific populations.
