Applicants who want to be considered for a grant from the BNP Paribas Foundation for the two programs, Project Suburbs and Help2Help, can now submit their proposals through an online portal supported by the new VerticalSoft platform.
Through this new platform, applicants will be able to easily create, complete, submit and track their funding requests.
In addition, the VerticalSoft platform also provides applicants with useful features for their fundraising efforts, including the creation of a web site for each project that includes all necessary information and tools to regularly inform donors of the project progress.
The BNP Paribas Foundation acts on three fields of action: culture, solidarity and the environment. The BNP Paribas Foundation is committed to promoting social inclusion via two projects: Projet Banlieues and Odyssée jeunes.
Projet Banlieues aims at helping disadvantaged and disabled young people by getting people back to work and by helping them to set up their own business, supporting local social initiatives and boosting educational programs for young people.
Odyssée jeunes aims at funding school field trips in seine-saint-denis. In eight years, Odyssée Jeunes has enabled 40,000 children to take part in one of 1000 educational and cultural trips in several countries! In 2014, Odyssée Jeunes entered a new phase. To support the increasingly dynamic educational teams, we have redesigned the way our program works. Now it offers the opportunity to develop multidisciplinary educational projects that last over several school years.
The Help2Help program, which is now available in nearly 30 countries, follows the Coup de pouce program launched in 2003, in which the Foundation supports solidarity and humanitarian projects supported by the bank employees involved in personally and voluntarily in charities.
Founded in 2016, VerticalSoft is a French “Social and Solidarity Economy Enterprise” (“ESS Enterprise”).
