What does the VINCI Nordic foundation do?

VINCI Nordic Foundation supports organizations that work on inclusion on a non-profit basis. For example, with projects that contribute to promoting a better society or allowing people to re-enter the labor market. Socio-economic organizations with these goals can also be supported. Organizations may not have a political, medical or religious nature. VINCI Nordic Foundation does not finance public organizations or institutions (cities, municipalities) or individual projects.

VINCI Nordic Foundation supports social projects in the Nordics that ensure that everyone can be part of society. We support sustainable projects that aim to:

• promote access to the labour market.
• build a better society.

For example, projects that provide lasting employment or activities for people who are disadvantaged in society.

Support can be requested for investments in material (equipment, vehicles, IT, furniture, etc.) or intangible (a website, training directly linked to the project, etc.).

The sponsor is employed by one of the VINCI companies in the Nordic region. He or she submits an application for a project to a social organisation. He or she is involved in the project and is the link between the organisation being supported and VINCI Nordic Foundation. The sponsor is:

• employed by one of the VINCI companies;
• involved, e.g. as a volunteer, in the project or organisation;
• enjoys using his or her skills for the organisation or project.

If the project is not approved, it did not meet the VINCI Nordic Foundation’s criteria. Resubmission is only possible if the project has changed its objectives or content.
