Do you have a project that falls within the RTE Foundations
sphere of action?
Below are the various criteria we use to select the projects.
The
selection criteria
The projects proposed must meet the following criteria:
Critères de qualification
The projects must fall within Fondation RTE’s sector
of intervention.
- They are socially beneficial:
they are of general interest (goals of collective interest)
and non profit-making. They meet an identified need, which
is not or very little satisfied by the sector or the public
publics. They lead to concrete and quantifiable results
(objectives to be clearly described and indicators that
allow results to be assessed).
- As a priority, they are located in rural
environments in the national metropolitan territory.
Assessment
criteria
A project is examined by analysing the various criteria,
which allows it to be assessed in its entirety and, where
necessary, to decide between the various projects.
- Sustainable
character: the financial initiatives with Fondation
RTE’s support must be part of a process of sustainable
improvement
- co-financing and networking:
the Foundation particularly welcomes, on the one hand,
the relevance of the project’s budget construction and
other research in terms of finance and partnership (diversity
of sources of finance: public assistance, private support,
own resources...) and, on the other, experience of leading
projects, expertise and cooperation between the various
players.
- Project beneficiaries, notably
whether or not the project includes and/or associates
with fragile people in terms of their social or economic
situation. Their involvement in constructing and/or implementing
the project brings them social recognition.
- Enhancing the value of rural assets
- Environmental considerations
- The economic impact (maintaining
or creating jobs)
- The innovative, or reproducible,
character is examined in detail
- The involvement of RTE employees. The Foundation wants
to provide more than financial support: it favours
projects identified by its employees, which are
liable to motivate them to accompany project leaders or
take part on the ground as volunteers in certain joint
operations.
Who
are the project leaders?
- Associations, inclusion companies, cooperatives... and, more generally, non-profit-making or disinterested management bodies.
- Beneficiaries must reside in metropolitan France.
- Fondation RTE does not support associations of a political or religious nature, in accordance with the policies of Fondation de France.
What
type of assistance is provided and how much is it worth??
Fondation RTE provides assistance in the form of annual
or pluriannual subsidies, the amount of which is determined
according to the project’s needs. As a priority, it
is reserved for
tangible or intangible investment expenses. The Foundation
examines every request whatever its size and co-finances
projects.
What
the RTE Foundation does not finance
- One-off events (exhibitions, colloquia, events, festivals...);
- Sponsoring operation (sportive, cultural)
- Humanitarian projects;
- Organisation’s regular operating costs (charges, salaries, transport costs;
- The entire project; in fact, looking for co-financing is a requirement to ensure durability;
- Transport vehicle (on principle)
- Projects outside French metropolitan territory;
- Personal projects;
- Projects that form an integral part of missions that can be financed by public policies and, in general, projects from legal obligations.
- Projects linked to RTE’s activities
