Muséum for the Planet Endowment fund
Preserve biodiversity for future generations.
A long-term financial support for nature
The Muséum for the Planet Endowment fund is a private law philanthropic structure designed to pass on resources to future generations for biodiversity preservation. This forward-thinking approach is essential in light of the growing threats to nature.
The Endowment fund aims to support, sustain, finance, promote, and develop actions that contribute to the preservation of biodiversity. It also seeks to educate the public about the fragility of nature.
The principle is to capitalize, wisely manage and distribute its revenue, particularly to projects related to the activities of the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle (French National Museum of Natural History).
For French fiscal residents, companies and individuals, all donations are tax deductible.
