Support Mieux Donner through other means than donations
At Mieux Donner, our mission is simple: to enable every donation to have maximum impact. But to achieve this, we need more than just donations. We need visibility, relays and meetings. And that’s where you can play a vital role. Without even giving a penny, you can help us grow this idea: that every donation can become a lever for transformation, if it is well chosen.
How can you help?
Follow our social networks and interact with us
A simple like, a comment, a share of our publications, an invitation to follow our page… It’s a handful of seconds for you, but it can change everything for us. We usually post in French, but most social media have an in-app translator to help you keep the score.
Talk about us
It’s simple, but fundamental. A chat over a coffee, a post on the networks, a share in your newsletter… every time you talk about us, you’re helping to spread the word about a more effective way of giving.
It can also be done in writing, by writing an article on your personal website if you have one, in a local newspaper or on your old school’s alumni blog, or by commenting on forums.
Making introductions
Do you know :
- Someone who works for a media outlet, podcast or newsletter that talks about philanthropy, commitment, solidarity or CSR?
- A person or company that gives but wonders about the real impact of its donations?
- A foundation, a local authority, a committed organisation?
Let us know. Put us in touch with potential collaborators.
Opening the doors of your company to us
We work free of charge with companies that want to maximise the impact of their donations, raise awareness among their teams or think about an evidence-based philanthropic strategy. If your company is committed to philanthropy, or would like to be, you can put us in touch with your CSR or philanthropy department, or talk to us directly.

FAQs
We are independently funded by philanthropic donors. In July 2024, our founders took part in a charity incubation program and secured €86,000 in donations in order to fund our operations for one year. By the end of year 1, our ambitious goal is to raise €1m for the most effective charities in the world. At the very least, we aim to raise twice as much for charity as we spend in year one. Contact us if you would like to support our work.

In June 2024 Romain and Jennifer both took part in AIM’s charity incubator program.
