After having worked for more than 15 years in training and education, the Renault Foundation is adding a new string to its bow: that of sponsorship. Are you a general-interest association? Do you have a project in the area of recycling or renewable energies? Does your project promote access to employment for disadvantaged people? If that is the case, you have until 14 May 2018 to submit an application to the Renault Foundation and receive a financial contribution of €90,000, if your proposal is selected.
What rules of the game?
If you want to participate in this call for proposals, you must comply with certain rules of the game. You must be a general-interest and non-profit association* located in a country in which Renault is established. Your project must have a duration of three years and be related to the areas of recycling or renewable energies and support integration through employment of people who are disadvantaged (through their social situation, handicap, etc.).
If you meet these criteria, you can submit an application to the Renault Foundation. You have until midnight on 14 May (Paris time) to apply.
How are applicants selected?
Initially, the Renault Foundation team will check that all applications fully comply with all required criteria. Associations shortlisted must go to Boulogne Billancourt (from 22 to 25 May 2018) to present their project to a committee made up of members of the different functions of Groupe Renault. After these presentations, 5 projects will be selected. The five finalists are then to present their projects (20-minute pitch) to members of the sponsorship committee that will select, on 4 June 2018, a single project. The prizewinner will receive a financial contribution of €90,000 over a period of 3 years.
Reminder of the deadlines.
