About
Vision
For a democracy where everyone has the power to act individually and collectively for a just and solidary society.
Mission
Provide more resources to civil society organizations in France that protect, promote, and pioneer democracy.
Values
We defend the values of pluralistic democracy, guaranteeing balance of powers, political equality, and the fight against all forms of discrimination. The values of solidarity, equity, and independence guide our actions.
More specifically, we believe that democracy:
Is a condition of public interest and an essential component of it
Hinges on the principle of political equality: all individuals have an equal right to be heard and to have a say in decisions that affect them, ensuring a just, inclusive, and fair society
Is part of a mosaic of norms, institutions, and entities that promote the balance of power and respect for the rule of law
Must fully guarantee pluralism and foster meaningful debate
Encourages peaceful coexistence at all levels, from local to national, while respecting diversity in experience and identity
Embodies the principle of popular sovereignty, ensuring real and effective participation of people in decisions that affect their lives and all living beings
Is a continuous process aimed at increasing openness, transparency, inclusion, and participation
Who are we ?
The launch of this fund is a collective process that is still under construction. It has already mobilised a whole community of stakeholders who have taken part in the various development phases; they come from the non profit sector, research, journalism, foundations and philanthropy. We would like to thank them for their commitment to this process.
