Donation to the Fondation de France
You can choose to support the Fondation de France. The Fondation de France is France's leading philanthropy network, working in the public interest to help vulnerable people and promote medical research.
In response to the Coronavirus, the Fondation de France has drawn up an action plan:
"In the first phase of the crisis, donations will enable us to step up our actions to support research, help healthcare workers and the most vulnerable [...] Beyond the crisis: help associations resume their activities with the most vulnerable".
In the fight against COVID-19, donations to the Fondation de France will make it possible to :
=> help the nursing staff with :
- the purchase of medical equipment to increase the capacity of hospitals across France;
- the deployment of local services to help them in their daily lives;
- the setting up of psychological support units for caregivers who have been tested by the extreme conditions they have to cope with.
=> help researchers with :
- diagnosis, to identify and manage patients as early as possible;
- the identification and development of effective treatments to improve cure rates;
- prevention, thanks to the development of a vaccine.

Local donations and solidarity
Difficult to list, but local solidarity is alive and well in the face of this COVID-19 crisis. Whether it's by preparing meals for carers or looking after their children, acts of solidarity are multiplying... There's no doubt that you can contribute not far from where you live, or even with your neighbors directly. To find out more, it would be a good idea to contact your local town hall or CCAS, or to keep an eye on the regional daily press, which will be sure to report on the event.
Donations to the State to help caregivers, farmers and businesses
Gérald Darmanin, the French Minister for Action and Public Accounts, has launched a "major appeal for national solidarity". He has announced that a donation platform will shortly be set up to support healthcare workers, farmers and businesses affected by the crisis.
