About the Grant
The ENGIE Foundation primarily focuses on supporting children and young people in need, fostering their growth and inclusion through culture, education, health, and sports. The foundation believes that investing in children today will shape a better world for tomorrow. Over the years, it has expanded its scope to include access to energy for all and biodiversity conservation, recognizing these as crucial factors for sustainable development.
In response to the growing frequency of climate-related disasters, such as those in Haiti, the foundation has allocated part of its budget to emergency assistance. Additionally, with rising global migration, it has committed to aiding migrants and refugees affected by economic, political, or environmental factors. A significant portion of its initiatives also focuses on empowering women, who play a pivotal role in community development and family well-being. The ENGIE Foundation finances projects led by organizations that align with its key intervention areas: childhood and youth, access to energy and biodiversity, and poverty alleviation through employment integration.
