Who are we?

La Concorde,
an emergency
endowment fund

In these times of deep political and democratic crisis, La Concorde is an independent and non-profit emergency endowment fund dedicated to supporting democracy on a non-partisan basis. It was founded and is led by a collective of entrepreneurs committed to restoring hope through action.

This philanthropic fund aims to preserve and promote democracy in all its dimensions of public interest : civic rights, development and maintenance of social cohesion, dialogue and civic engagement, as well as the defense of freedom of information.

Its mission is to fund and scale, by the next presidential elections in 2027, non-profit civil society organizations and citizen initiatives of an educational, social, cultural, or scientific nature, and to invest in entrepreneurial initiatives that strengthen democracy in France.
