An endowment fund created by the City of Paris in 2012, the Fonds pour les Ateliers de Paris aims to strengthen and accelerate the support actions carried out by the Office. It is administered by a Board of Directors of 10 members, and advised by 1 expert.
It works to support and stimulate the professional development of designers and encourage job creation, facilitate the transfer of know-how between experienced professionals and young talent, and promote professional networks in the creative professions in France and abroad. By stepping up its philanthropic initiatives, the Fund promotes innovation and a sustainable professional environment, further enhancing the excellence of Parisian expertise and designers by creating a genuine dynamic between public and private players.
The Fonds pour les Ateliers de Paris sets up sponsorship programmes each year:
- Increase of the endowments of the Grands Prix de la Création de la Ville de Paris
- Creation of new Knowledge Transfer Awards
- Funding for projects at Paris schools of applied art (Étienne, Boulle, Duperré), international programs and creative workshops
- Support for events to promote the sector
Thanks to the commitment of its patrons, the Fund has supported nearly 400 beneficiaries, including 67 winners of the Grands Prix de la Création de la Ville de Paris, 70 professionals who benefited from collective training courses, 128 participants in creative workshops (design and reuse, interdisciplinary creathons), and 29 artisans who received help to acquire machinery. It also financed 38 new Savoir-Faire transmission awards and contributed to the funding of 3 international exchanges (Belgium and the Netherlands).
Each project has an associated sponsor recognition programme.
