Partnerships with local and international NGOs

The 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).

Beyond financial support, the Foundation fosters all forms of collaboration between NGOs and the Group’s brands and companies.

Mapping of the projects

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.
