Philanthropy grounded in
intention and rigor
We help you build a giving strategy grounded in evidence, aligned with your values, whether you're giving personally, through your business , or as part of estate planning.
Book a callThree situations we encounter often
Support across four key areas
A structured first conversation to identify the causes that truly match who you are, your convictions, and the legacy you want to build, without imposing a predetermined framework.
We draw on the same evaluators as Anglo-Saxon family office philanthropists (GiveWell, Founders Pledge, LongView) and translate this research into concrete recommendations tailored to your profile.
Income tax, wealth tax, corporate giving, estate planning: we integrate tax strategy into your giving plan so every euro produces maximum impact, accounting for your personal situation.
Evaluations evolve, as does your situation. We provide annual check-ins to update your recommendations based on new research and changes in your personal or professional context.
Three principles that change everything
Effectiveness isn't ideology, it's measurement. Here's what guides our recommendations.
Three powerful levers, often underused
France's tax system offers exceptionally favorable mechanisms for philanthropy. In some cases, a 50,000 euro gift costs you just 12,500 euros after tax deductions.
Deductible within 20% of taxable income. A gift produces significant tax savings without raising your budget.
The most powerful lever for wealth tax holders. These gifts don't need reporting on your income tax return.
Capped at 0.5% of revenue. Particularly attractive for executives and entrepreneurs wanting to involve their business.
An engaged community, verifiable results
Our advisory service is independently funded by philanthropists distinct from those we advise. Their goal is to help others have greater impact with their giving, which lets us offer this service free of charge, with no connection to your giving decisions. Our recommendations are guided solely by impact, never by commercial interest.
We can also work alongside your wealth advisor, notary, or family office. Our expertise in impact evaluation complements their understanding of your financial situation.
We adapt to your schedule
30-45 minute initial conversation to understand your situation, priority causes, and specific questions.
Structured session to build a detailed recommendation together, including tax angles and organization selection.
Ongoing partnership: presentations to your team, integration into broader financial planning, annual strategy review.
"You can have 100 times more impact by giving to the best organizations. It's not about numbers, it's about compassion. Each gift affects real lives and families. If we help you choose high-impact organizations carefully, we're enabling you to help thousands more people. Every action matters when it's well-directed, and because we believe in lasting impact, we want you to make a real difference."
