It brings together founders, donors, volunteer experts, employees and thousands of organizations, all of them are committed and driven by the will to act. Fondation de France is an important actor for strengthening social ties and cohesion. In a time when it appears the temptation is to reject differences, Fondation de France helps people get together on essential values: respect for each other, benevolence, humanity, so that the extremists cannot win! They also founded the new program "Give For France", dedicated to support organizations addressing the needs of the victims of the Paris attacks and their families, as well as healing from terrorism and radicalization, through educational programs and citizenship initiatives.
