La Fondation Bettencourt Schueller
Both a family foundation and a recognized public-interest charitable organisation since its creation, the Fondation Bettencourt Schueller aims to "taking talent to the top" to contribute to France’s success and influence.
The Foundation achieves this by seeking out, selecting, supporting, accompanies and promoting the women and men who are imagining today the world of tomorrow, in three fields that make a tangible contribution to the common good : the life sciences, the arts, and solidarity. In a philanthropic spirit, it acts through awards, grants, personalised support, communication and co-constructed initiatives. Founded in 1987, it has rewarded since then 634 laureates and supported more than 1,000 projects carried by various teams, non profit organizations, institutions and organisations. #talentsfondationbettencourt
