A fund for…?
The Fils de Notre Dame de Vie endowment fund was officially recognized in May 2022 (cf. see French Official Journal).
Its purpose, in France and abroad, is to promote, support and develop by all means, activities and projects of general interest, in particular of :
- solidarity and mutual aid, particularly transgenerational ;
- social and medico-social ;
- humanitarian ;
- cultural and educational through the teaching of French as well as support for training and learning.
This aid is aimed in particular at children and young adults, the elderly (3rd and 4th ages) and the sick and, more broadly, any vulnerable public. Although modest in its means, the fund aims to be able to support as many causes and people as possible in connection with its own purpose.
A fund administered by…?
This fund is managed by a group of friends and members of the masculine branch of the Institut Notre-Dame de Vie, an institute of consecrated life belonging to the Catholic Church.
Its terms of existence and operation, as well as the monitoring of its activity meet the requirements of the French regulations in force.
