More infoThe Foundation supports projects submitted by local and international NGOs. Projects are evaluated and analysed from an operational and financial standpoint, with a special focus on capacity building and assessment of social impacts.
The PPR Foundation endeavours to build a geographically and thematically well-balanced portfolio of projects supported over any single year.
Project proposals are reviewed by the Selection Committee who approves the backing and amounts granted. In the event of funding needs in excess of €70 K, the Committee issues a recommendation and submits the project to the Board for final decision (every 6 months). In 2009 the PPR Foundation supported 19 NGO projects with a global amount of €475K. In 2010, it supports 16 projects with a global amount of €376K.
Beyond financial support, the Foundation fosters all forms of collaboration between NGOs and the Group’s brands and companies.
The breakdown of selected projects which either fight Violence Against Women or promote Women’s Empowerment is split evenly, with a number of projects overlapping both subjects. Six months after its inception, the PPR Foundation for Women’s Dignity and Rights now wishes to consolidate its support to such projects and build longer-term partnerships.
Geographically, a large number of the projects submitted and selected by the Selection Committee are located on the African continent where Women’s Rights are still frequently trampled, particularly in conflict regions. But the PPR Foundation intends to back projects in favour of women everywhere necessary across the planet.
PLEASE NOTE that the next Selection Committee will meet during the 1st term of 2011. The project proposal process will be open again from the beginning of 2011.
