Foundation under the aegis of Fondation de France

Fondation Autisme operates under the aegis of Fondation de France. The latter ensures compliance with the principles governing the public interest, in particular transparency and sound governance. In addition, Fondation de France manages administrative, legal, and accounting matters, including the secure handling of donations and bequests, as well as the prompt issuance of tax receipts tailored to each donor’s situation.

However, Fondation de France is not involved in the selection or support of projects.

Partnership with Agir et Vivre l’Autisme

Agir et Vivre l’Autisme is a non-profit association dedicated to improving the lives of autistic individuals and their families. It manages several service platforms across mainland France to provide support for autistic people.

Founded by the same people, Fondation Autisme and Agir et Vivre l’Autisme signed a partnership agreement on April 17, 2014, to pool human resources and financial or administrative capacities in order to advance their respective missions.

Partnership with Institut de l’Autisme

Institut de l’Autisme is a subsidiary of Agir et Vivre l’Autisme and is therefore included in the aforementioned agreement. It is dedicated to training professionals and families in the principles and methods recommended by Haute Autorité de Santé.

To develop its educational materials, the Institute draws on the innovative facilities of Agir et Vivre l’Autisme as well as the scientific expertise of Fondation Autisme.

Other informal partnerships

The board members of Fondation Autisme contribute to shaping public policies on autism. In this capacity, they serve as informal yet regular partners of public authorities, whether at the national level or within the Agences Régionales de Santé.
