Since 2008, the Fondation du Collège de France has been working alongside science and the Collège de France to promote free, ambitious research and knowledge for all.
Maintaining this research at the highest level, attracting the best talent and extending the dissemination of knowledge to as many people as possible requires a high level of financial commitment. Patronage and donations enable us to finance research in a flexible and responsive way, so that it can constantly progress and innovate.
Developing research projects, equipping laboratories, supporting field missions, training young researchers, enriching the Collège de France's documentary holdings, supporting the dissemination of open-access knowledge, bringing science closer to the general public... Thanks to the generosity of its patrons and donors, the Fondation du Collège de France helps to raise the profile of French scientific excellence, to encourage exceptional potential for discovery and innovation, and to extend the transmission of knowledge to all publics.
Recognized as a charitable organization, the Fondation du Collège de France is authorized to receive donations, as well as bequests, gifts, usufructs and life insurance policies exempt from inheritance tax.
