Fondation pour la Mémoire de la Shoah supports projects that preserve Holocaust memory, advance Shoah education, and combat antisemitism, with a strong emphasis on French projects but some international reach. It also funds social, medical, and protective assistance for Shoah survivors, making survivor welfare a major pillar alongside historical memory and cultural transmission. Applicants are typically nonprofits, cultural institutions, educators, researchers, and community organizations proposing projects aligned with one of the Foundation’s thematic commissions.
Project-based grantmaking through commission-specific submission pathways ('Proposer un projet'), with program-focused support rather than open general operating grants. Funding appears to be tailored to discrete initiatives such as exhibitions, educational resources, research projects, survivor aid, and cultural programming, with separate national programs for survivor assistance in France.
