Fondation Pour l’Audition provides grants of up to €10,000 for projects aimed at improving the lives of people with hearing loss and/or promoting hearing health.
The foundation supports field projects and organizations committed to people impacted by hearing loss and their families.
Speculative grant applications may be made by any groups supporting people of any age with hearing loss of any kind. Applicants may include assistance/management associations, foundations, institutions, local authorities or other organizations based in France.
Speculative applications may concern:
- Oneoff projects
- Or projects involving longterm strategic partnerships with renewed grants
Applications must be made in writing through the application form. If an application is rejected, the funding committee will inform the project owner by email. If an application is shortlisted, a more comprehensive application form must be submitted, followed up by a telephone or face-to-face meeting.
These applications will be assessed by the funding committee, composed of Fondation Pour l’Audition employees, who will decide collectively whether to grant the requested funds. When the funds exceed €10,000 or involve a long-term partnership, they will be submitted to the foundation’s board of directors, and if necessary an expert committee, for approval.
Applications will be assessed on the following criteria:
- The project’s compatibility with the foundation’s mission and values
- The skills and experience of the project team
- Financial viability and budget availability
- The detailed description of the project
- The project timeline
- The project’s feasibility and the foundation’s role in implementation
- Other partners and funds
- Planned assessment and impact measurement
- Project communications and partnership promotion
Project owners must submit all the required supporting documents with their application before and during the assessment process.
The foundation will pay grants after receiving a signed charter of commitment or a signed contract and call for funds from the project owners.
