FONDATION CARITAS FRANCE

Created in 2009 by Secours Catholique, the Caritas France Foundation is dedicated to fighting poverty and exclusion in all their forms. Its actions are based around four main missions:

• Project support : The foundation finances more than 70 projects every year, providing not only financial support but also extra-financial assistance (support with social impact assessment, development of own resources, HR issues, etc.).

• Support for individual and family philanthropy: it is home to more than 100 foundations, mainly family foundations, to which it offers a caring framework and tailor-made support: financial and administrative support, field visits, peer exchanges, etc.

• Support for research and innovation: The Foundation supports those involved in research into philanthropy and poverty issues, in particular through the Caritas Research Prize awarded each year to a young researcher in the social sciences.

• Social impact investment: The Foundation uses part of its capital to finance social enterprises that aim to have a positive social impact while seeking to achieve financial equilibrium.
