About the Organization

Created in November 2017, the Roquette Foundation for Health, under the aegis of the Fondation de France, supports innovative or educational projects in the fields of food and nutrition.

It supports various types of projects , such as:

• Support for educational programs on diet.
• Studies on the impact of food on diseases.
• Support for operational and sustainable projects that are beneficial to health.

The Foundation is guided by three principles on a daily basis: believing in progress, changing behaviors and sharing knowledge.

About the Grant

Nutrition and physical activity are two key factors for protecting and preventing health. A varied and balanced nutrition, combined with regular daily physical activity, contributes to good physical health (reduction weight gain, improvement of sleep quality, strengthening of the cardiovascular system, preservation of bone mass, reduction of cancer risk, etc.) and mental health (fight against stress, anxiety, depression, etc.).

Considering these findings, the Roquette Foundation for Health, under the aegis of the Foundation of France, and the Decathlon Foundation have decided to join forces to launch a joint call for projects on the theme “Sports and Nutrition for Good Health.”

Purpose of the Call for Projects:

The Foundations will support projects aimed at enabling any beneficiary in a situation of vulnerability (precariousness, disability, disadvantaged neighborhoods, illnesses, etc.) to achieve better long-term health through healthy nutrition and suitable physical activity. Sports and nutrition play a crucial role in health prevention and are inseparable.

The projects must be long-term and demonstrate a strategy of sustainable actions, with the aim of maximizing the social impact of the actions. 

They must be implemented in one of the following three countries: France, India, or Brazil.

Amount Allocated during This Call for Projects:

The project funding is set at €150,000, which will be distributed among the three countries.

The amounts allocated to the selected projects may vary depending on their needs and the decisions of the jury members.

Financial requests must cover expenses related to sports (sports equipment, sports facilities, supplies, staff, etc.), and expenses related to healthier nutrition (purchase of food items, personnel expenses (dietitian, nutritionist, etc.)). Requests for operational expenses not related to the project are excluded.

The main objective of the projects will be to demonstrate that sports and nutrition play a crucial role in health prevention and are inseparable. 

The project must start within 12 months following the grant payment.
