In the aftermath of the destructive fire at Notre-Dame cathedral in Paris, Fondation de France is appointed one of the four organizations tasked with managing fundraising and allocating the donations from individuals and companies to rebuild this jewel of French heritage.
After the terrorist attacks in Paris on November 13, 2015, Fondation de France is approached by donors, especially in the US. It launches the “United Against Terrorism” fund to assist victims and also to set up projects that aim to prevent violence and radicalization.
Fondation de France is one of the very first organizations to support this pioneering experiment, in which long-term unemployed people are recruited into employment-oriented companies, at no extra cost to local authorities.
