Whether it’s to celebrate a writer’s life, keep their work alive, or encourage young authors, several of the Fondation de France’s donor-advised funds support literature.

Thus, every year Fondation Julia Verlanger awards a prize for science fiction, Fondation Michel Dard honors an author who is a “late bloomer,” and Fondation Robert Ganzo promotes poets, while every year the Fondation Prix Jean Freustié gives an award to a French writer for a work of prose. The goals of these “literary” foundations reflects the diversity of their passions and the creative paths of their artists!
