Fondation du Patrimoine

Fondation du Patrimoine is a French non profit organization, created by law in 1996, to promote and raise funds to restore public and private heritage. Its main goal is to safeguard the rural heritage unprotected by French State. Houses, churches, bridges, mills, industrial heritage, ...all types of local heritage are eligible for action by the Foundation. Alongside the State and its local representants and firms, it helps: - the public owners and associations to finance their projects, - allows private landowners to reduce taxation all or part of their work, - and mobilizes sponsorship from international and local firms.
