BGE Parif
An entrepreneurship awareness program for high school students to prevent them from dropping out.
In 2023, Parquest launched its philanthropic fund, hosted by the Transatlantic Bank’s endowment fund, with the ambition to develop and perpetuate an approach to finance projects of general interest in line with the values of Parquest.
Each year, Parquest’s philanthropic fund provides financial support, and in some cases pro bono and skills sharing, to 6 to 8 projects with themes related to Parquest’s values: social inclusion, the fight against inequality and climate change.
Governance
Parquest’s philanthropic fund is administered by a management committee composed of members of the Parquest team and members of the Transatlantic Bank endowment fund. New projects are analysed and selected at least once a year based on the following selection criteria:
- Philanthropic purpose in line with the social purpose of the Parquest fund
- Minimum of 3 years of existence
- Projects in France
The amounts allocated (by project range from 10,000 to 30,000 euros).
