Our endowment fund:
Edelweiss Horizon
1. What is the purpose of our endowment fund?
The purpose of the endowment fund is to contribute to building a more sustainable, equitable, and cohesive society. More specifically, it aims to:
-
Promote Environmental Protection: This includes initiatives focused on the fight against climate change, the preservation of biodiversity, and support for projects that foster sustainable development.
-
Combat Social Inequalities: The fund is committed to fighting social and economic inequalities by financing projects that promote equity, access to education, and support for vulnerable populations. We believe in the necessity of equal access to opportunities for all, regardless of social background.
-
Improve Health and Well-being: This encompasses support for medical research, disease prevention, and assistance for those facing health difficulties, seeking to guarantee access to quality care for all. Our actions aim to promote accessible and effective solutions for everyone.
-
These strategic pillars allow the fund to respond to contemporary challenges in a targeted manner and to mobilize resources around meaningful projects.
2. Means of Action
The endowment fund’s means of action focus on several key approaches. This fund will be "mixed" in nature: it can both finance projects it manages directly and support initiatives led by other non-profit organizations:
-
Project Financing: The fund provides financial support to initiatives working for the environment, the fight against inequality, and the improvement of health.
-
Partnerships: By collaborating with various organizations and institutions, the fund strengthens its impact and expands its network of influence.
-
In-house Project Creation: The fund has the capacity to develop its own initiatives to meet specific needs.
-
Support for Public Interest Associations: The fund supports public interest associations (associations d’utilité publique) related to its core activities: environment, social issues, and health.
These actions aim to maximize impact and create synergies between different actors in society.
