We promote a social commitment to the common good.
We support actions with empathy and solidarity towards our stakeholders.

The heart of our work

The Foundation believes in the importance of long-term collaboration with its partners, in order to make the most of everyone’s skills and resources.
Our aim is to support projects over the long term, to establish a complementary relationship and to move forward together.

The Foundation focuses on building a relationship of trust with partners, in order to promote the implementation of sustainable practices and generate a strong societal impact.

Its financial independence, resulting from the shareholder foundation economic model, allows it to control the selection of projects, partners, and strategies in the interest of the common good.

André Losch Foundation supports its partners in 3 ways.

– a financial contribution enabling them to carry out their project;
– capacity-building opportunities;
– methodological support throughout the project cycle, including impact measurement through the definition and monitoring of indicators.

Strong positioning as a facilitator

The Foundation also recognizes the existence of an ecosystem in which all actors play their part in the service of society; it contributes to this by forging partnerships and promoting other actors.
The Foundation encourages the creation of spaces for dialogue and encounters, as a facilitator of exchanges and federator of initiatives, in order to encourage interdisciplinary synergies in the service of youth.
