Every year, La France s’engage identifies and selects around fifteen promising projects in all areas of sustainable development, offering them structured support to help them scale up and develop.
Created in 2017, the La France s’engage Foundation is an extension of the eponymous programme launched by the French government in 2014 to support social innovation. Its mission is to promote civic engagement in support of solidarity-based initiatives that are innovative and useful to as many people as possible, in response to the limitations of public policies in the face of social and environmental challenges.
Every year, the foundation identifies and selects around fifteen promising projects in all areas of sustainable development, offering them structured support to help them scale up and develop.
This three-year programme is based on six strategic priorities:
- financial management and fundraising;
- measuring social impact;
- strategies for scaling up;
- economic and legal structuring;
- governance and human resources;
- and advocacy.
At the same time, La France s’engage coordinates a national network of public and private players – of which the Audemars Piguet Foundation for Common Good is now a member – who contribute to its governance, as well as to the funding and support of projects.
Since 2014, more than 200 projects have been supported by this active ecosystem. By encouraging the emergence of sustainable, innovative and inclusive solutions, La France s’engage plays a key role in the development of France’s regions and in improving the daily lives of their populations.
