You have a project that could improve life in the city or help the socially excluded get back to work within city life. VINCI's Corporate Foundation for the City is offering its skills network and is ready to assist you financially.
However, if your project is not based in France, it must be submitted to the Foundation by a VINCI employee.

Grants provided by the Foundation average 15,000 euros, and are earmarked towards investment.
The annual grant budget stands at 2 millions euros.

Selection criteria

1 - Nature of projects

We give priority to projects developing social responsibility, or helping the socially excluded get back to work. We are not involved in Health, Disability or Humanitarian programs. It is not sufficient for a private undertaking to be borne by someone suffering from social exclusion; the project must also address solidarity issues.

2 - Involvement of VINCI workers

We want to give more than money. This is why we support projects which call upon the skills of VINCI workers : providing skills, networking, helping with business opportunities, job creation...

3 - Sustainable projects

We do not support on-the-spot projects, but prefer intiatives providing sustainable employment or activities. We do not finance festivals or events.

4 - Location

We support projects developed for cities or urban areas.

5 - Structure type

The structure can be an association or a business, and must develop a project addressing genuine social issues. It must be non politic and nondenominational. We do not finance local authorities or state agencies.
