Under the aegis of the Fondation de France
The Arkwood Foundation was born of the desire of Arkwood’s partners and associates to make a collective commitment to philanthropy.
The firm’s professionals are united around their business project and realize that they are fortunate to work in a supportive and stimulating environment. It is therefore natural that they have chosen to commit to supporting public interest actions in favor of children and youth, with a particular emphasis on integration through sports, art and culture.
For 2024, the Executive Committee has renewed its commitment to seven associations supported in 2023 and its support for hospital Christmas operations. The Foundation’s support has also been extended to three new associations. The foundation thus affirms its renewed ambition to support projects that facilitate the integration of children and young adults through sport, art or culture; or that attempt to lighten the daily lives of sick children, their parents and caregivers.
The associations supported in 2024 are:
- Article 1 to support young people in their professional integration, with an allocation of funds to finance the “Maison” program (student social residence).
- Sport dans la ville to support the new “Ambitions Numériques” program.
- Télémaque organizes mentoring and coaching for teenagers and young adults; the Foundation’s financial commitment will continue for a minimum of 3 years.
- What dance can do? uses dance as a vehicle for integration and emancipation for children and young adults in vulnerable situations. The Foundation is building a partnership with the association to support the hospital dance programs (notably the “Origami Club” project) and “Alice”.
- La Source Garouste aims to promote the development of children in vulnerable situations through access to art and culture and offers artistic workshops to young people, led by professional artists in partnership with the educational team.
- A deux mains supports public and private secondary schools in setting up and monitoring manual arts sections during school time, through adjustments to timetables or options.
- Prométhée Education offers mentoring to guide young people from modest or disadvantaged backgrounds towards renowned schools such as Sciences Po Paris and organizes eloquence competitions.
- Les concerts de poche involves isolated children and young adults in federative and participative musical creation workshops, prior to concerts with leading classical, jazz and opera artists.
- Aïda supports young people aged 12-25 facing illness and organizes Christmas in several hospitals every year.
- Les Blouses Roses supports isolated people in hospitals and retirement homes, thanks to trained volunteers who offer a listening ear and playful, recreational and artistic activities.
Welcomed by all with enthusiasm, the Arkwood Foundation aims to reach out beyond the practice and unite all those of goodwill who wish to commit themselves to the dissemination of values and actions that will strengthen the ability of all to live together.
