The VINCI Foundation

Presentation

Acting as a link between the world's leading construction and concessions group and the non-profit sector, the VINCI Foundation has been supporting community projects since 2002. It does this by supporting community organisations in regions where it can rely on the long-term engagement and professionalism of Group employees.  To date, the VINCI Foundation has supported more than 800 projects.

> Two types of action to act against all forms of social exclusion

- Promoting access to employment:
The VINCI Foundation supports initiatives that promote professional integration of
people excluded from society, initiatives that help them acquire training and qualifications or provide them with transport, an essential prerequisite for finding and keeping a job.

- Building better communities:
Many non-profit organisations have been working for years to make social cohesion a reality. The VINCI Foundation supports primarily those whose end-purpose is to raise young people's awareness of good citizenship, encourage the most isolated people to reintegrate into society and give particularly disadvantaged people access to housing.

> Human and financial support

The VINCI Foundation provides a framework for employees to volunteer their expertise for the different projects selected – a human partnership that is part of a long-term approach. Each project also receives financial support for investment purposes.

> Encouraging social innovation

Whether work-integration social enterprise or project, mobility service, neighbourhood development committee, community restaurant or café, the VINCI Foundation takes an interest in all kinds of innovative social projects.
Each project is regularly monitored and assessed, with the aim of measuring the global impact of the help provided by the VINCI Foundation and enhancing the support we offer to organisations involved in community initiatives.
