Since 2008, the Collège de France Foundation has been working alongside science and the Collège de France to promote free and ambitious research and the teaching of knowledge to 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 Collège de France Foundation helps to raise the profile of French scientific excellence, to encourage exceptional potential for discovery and innovation, and to broaden the transmission of knowledge to all publics.
Recognized as a charitable organization, the Collège de France Foundation is authorized to receive gifts, bequests, donations, usufructs and life insurance policies exempt from inheritance tax.
