Abbé Pierre’s avowal (excerpt from his speech at the Sorbonne)

On 24 September 2008, the Foundation launched its “Agir avec la Fondation Abbé Pierre” investment funds so that individuals and institutions alike could give extra meaning to their savings.

These funds allow for sharing half the interest your fund will earn with the Foundation, and will help support the construction of very social housing. It also allows for the investment of 10% of the assets in loans to ethically-conscious businesses involved in social housing.

In this wayyou help us twofold to put a roof over the heads of those who need it most!

Patrimonial properties management

In 2006, the Foundation received 144 dwellings through bequests and donations.

Some of them were restored, others were sold to associations that use them to house underprivileged persons in return for a low rent.

The profits from such sales are added to our resources so that we can fund other projects.

An example in Saint-Étienne:

In Saint-Étienne (Loire), a 45 m2 flat located on the third floor of this townhouse was sold in January 2006 to Pact de la Loire to house low-income people.

This dwelling was one of three flats the Foundation received by bequest: the Foundation sold two of them and kept the third one, which is currently occupied by an elderly tenant.

Your donations are tax deductible

According to the french law, 75% of your donations to the Fondation Abbé Pierre are tax deductible, up to 510 euros.

Any amount above 510 euros is deductible at 66%, up to a maximum of 20% of your income. Upon receipt of your donation, the Foundation will issue a tax receipt for your next income tax return.

A member since 1997 of the Charter Committee, our Foundation is voluntarily subject to this organisation’s supervision regarding compliance with its commitment to transparency: the Fondation Abbé Pierre’s certification has been renewed regularly since it became a member.
