Air France Foundation’s projects to help young people

Air France Foundation also operates a grant program. Projects and partnerships are chosen based on a detailed process including long-term success and viability. Those projects assessed as the most viable are chosen for grant funding. Every new application is evaluated against Air France’s ethical criteria.
The foundation works in countries where Air France operates in an organisational capacity and where it can gain local support through Air France teams. The involvement of Air France teams allows the foundation to create close partnerships with its allies and monitor the progress of causes its endorses.
Air France Foundations gains support from employees
In 2026, the foundation started Boost ton Asso! This campaign was an internal call for projects designed to support Air France employees’ engagement with non-profit work. Over 100 applications were accepted according to the first round, creating a supportive atmosphere for employees at Air France.
Each application is analysed by the foundation based on assessment metrics including potential for success. Of the six selected projects, one of them is Mekong Plus, a nonprofit organization tackling poverty in Vietnam by supporting education and raising living standards.
