Fondation du Protestantisme

encourages and supports philanthropic, educational, humanitarian and cultural actions

Mission & Vision

Created in 2001, the Fondation du Protestantisme is a collective initiative that brings together all major churches and institutions of French Protestantism. Its mission is to inspire, support, and coordinate giving–from individuals, families, and institutions–in support of tangible, public-interest projects across philanthropic, social, humanitarian, educational, and cultural fields. The foundation offers Protestant churches and organizations a powerful tool to help them better manage their cultural heritage and advance projects that serve the common good, whether Protestant or not.

Their work and vision revolves around 4 core social missions: fraternity, social life, cultural heritage, and international solidarity. 

Actions Led

Their activities are centered around 4 main thematic endowment funds: 

  • The Protestant Solidarity Fund, to mobilize, sensibilize, and raise funds for global protestant stakeholders in need during emergencies and international crises. The projects supported by this fund are mainly focused on international development and the protection of individuals during crises.
  • The Universal Accessibility Fund, to create an inclusive society that meets the needs of all people with disabilities, no matter their handicap. The projects supported by this fund mostly focus on accessibility in terms of human relations, communications, and inclusive architecture.
  • The Youth and Leadership Fund, to support and sustain initiatives that encourage young people to get involved in various protestant projects, through opportunities for dialogue, exchange, and connection.
  • The Protestant Culture Fund, to support various initiatives and projects aiming at raising awareness on the history, the culture, and the values of Protestantism to the greater public.
