About the Organization

Founded in 1992, the ENGIE Corporate Foundation is committed to contributing to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Every year, it supports over a hundred projects worldwide. With 50% of its projects dedicated to access to renewable and sustainable energies and biodiversity by 2024, the ENGIE Foundation is committed to the environment year after year. Planet for People with the preservation of Biodiversity, Access to energy for all, Education and the Fight against poverty ; the main priorities of the ENGIE Foundation respond to one requirement: to take care of life and our planet, to meet the needs of fragile or remote populations.

More than ever, the ENGIE Foundation believes we need to be optimistic and work together to find solutions for the future. In a world facing many challenges, including global warming, migration, biodiversity conservation, access to energy for all and tackling poverty, we believe that the energy required to drive the most useful, necessary and ambitious projects must be unleashed as a matter of urgency. This is the mission of the ENGIE Foundation, and it is also the vision shared by all ENGIE employees around the world.

About the Grant

Since its creation, the ENGIE Foundation has been mobilising energies to help the weakest and most vulnerable. Its primary focus has been children and young people in need, giving them the confidence to grow by supporting projects that promote inclusion through culture, education, health or sport. Support for children is in keeping with the Foundation's philosophy: children will build the world of tomorrow, so giving them the energy to act is vital to the future of the planet.

In recent years, the ENGIE Foundation has evolved to take up new challenges: access to energy for all and protecting biodiversity. Like support for children, these are crucial challenges for the future of our planet and its sustainable growth.

Climate crises in places such as Haiti are becoming increasingly commonplace. This is something that the ENGIE Foundation felt unable to ignore. Part of its budget has therefore been set aside for emergency assistance, as distinct from the projects supported under agreements with our partners.

With migration on the rise worldwide, the Foundation is also committed to assisting migrants and refugees, whether driven by economic, political or climatic factors.

Of the world's 800 million illiterate individuals, 75% are women.

And yet women are often the linchpins of development. They are innovators who work hard to improve the day-to-day lives of their families.

Consequently, women often play a key role in projects supported by the ENGIE Foundation, whether promoting the social inclusion of children or access to energy for all.

The Foundation finances projects led by general interest associations that correspond to its areas of intervention.

• Childhood and Youth
• Access to energy, biodiversity and climate
