Support and grow. We identify talents, innovative projects, and personalities who are helping to change the world. We are committed to making them grow and prosper. Accompany them over the long term with active and tailor-made support, make them known and promote them, sustain their projects, whether social, environmental, or cultural… This is our vocation.
The BNP Paribas Foundation, a major player and expert in corporate sponsorship since 1984 and placed under the aegis of the Fondation de France, is part of a sponsorship approach guided by two strong axes: innovation and youth. Our two priorities are impact and societal issues, in favor of projects dedicated to solidarity, the environment, and culture convinced that philanthropy can be a crucial lever for transformation.
As a transition accelerator, the Foundation stands out for its pioneering and avant-garde spirit, as well as its ability to act in the face of major societal issues.
Our 3 fields of action
Solidarity: integrating and growing
The BNP Paribas Foundation fights against the various forms of exclusion, particularly in underprivileged neighborhoods, and supports programs in favor of social integration and education. It also supports the commitments of Group employees.
Environment: supporting scientific research on climate and biodiversity
The Foundation works with French and international research teams concerned with understanding the impacts of climate change and the correlation with the evolution of our planet’s biodiversity.
Culture: dare and accompany
Culture is a formidable vector of individual and social development. The BNP Paribas Foundation invests in it outside the box: contemporary dance, new circus arts, and jazz.
