Chaired by François Hollande, Fondation “La France s’engage” has a unique mission: “The commitment of all to ensure that the public

interest is recognised, encouraged, facilitated and valued. Social innovation and technologies are used to promote cohesion and solidarity.” La Poste Groupe is a founding partner of the foundation. It actively supports the foundation’s development and that of its winners in mainland France and the French overseas departments. Each year, a competition makes it possible to identify around 15 winners who will join a class for three years. “La France s’engage” provides them with financial resources , from €50,000 to €300,000, to exist, invest and hire. It also provides skills-based sponsorship to enable them to develop and spread throughout the country, and to create their own network within the SSE ecosystem.
