The 1970s

  

1975 Launch of the “Déclics Jeunes” program to help young people fulfill their ambitions.

Fondation Salavin-Fournier creates the first DéclicsJeunes competition, to identify promising talent and offer help in bringing their nonprofit projects to life. Since it was created, the competition has made the dreams of more than 1,000 young people come true.

1975 The first program promoting environmental protection: “Coastal Preservation”

Two oil spills, the Torrey Canyon in 1967 and the Amoco Cadiz in 1978 off the coast of Brittany, reveal the fragility of marine ecosystems and lead to a public outcry. In 1975, Fondation de France creates the first Coastal Preservation program.

1975 Combating loneliness in elderly people

Fondation de France, with the support of Simone Veil, the then health minister, launches the first national campaign to combat loneliness in the elderly. The topic is analyzed and tangible solutions tested. They include support networks, transport services in rural areas, the development of home care, new housing options, support for carers and training for workers.

1970 First donor-advised funds

The first donor-advised funds appear. For example, the Salavin-Fournier couple creates a foundation that helps young people plan their future. Mrs Bloch, the widow of physicist Eugène Bloch wishes to award prizes recognizing the scientific work of students and researchers. Fondation Antoine Béclère is created as a result. The children of the famous physician, a pioneer in radiology and radiotherapy, set the foundation up, to promote scientific innovation in the field of medical imaging.
