Ways to support
There is an ideal way to give for every age and every profile
Donations may be directed toward the four programs funded by the emlyon Foundation, or made as “unrestricted gifts.” In this case, contributions are allocated to the most urgent needs identified.
Cash donations: your financial gift directly supports the Foundation’s programs
Inkind donations: you contribute goods or services
Skills-based sponsorship: you make employees available to support our actions
Legacy giving: including bequests, donations, and life insurance policies.

Tax Benefits
Whether you reside in France, elsewhere in Europe, the United States, or Hong Kong, you may benefit from the tax deductions available in your country of residence.
If You Live Abroad
Twentyfive percent of emlyon graduates work or live outside France, mainly in Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
To make international giving easier, the emlyon Foundation enables you to benefit from the mechanisms developed by the Fondation de France, as well as the tax regulations specific to each country.
- Tax residence status in France: To be eligible for IFI tax reductions, it is essential to retain a tax connection with France, even if you live abroad. In other words, you must be considered a French taxpayer if you own net real estate assets exceeding €1.3 million located in France.
- Donations to public-interest organizations: Donations must be made to public-interest organizations recognized by the French tax authorities, such as the emlyon Foundation under the aegis of the Fondation de France.
- Compliance with caps: As for any taxpayer, tax reductions are subject to limits depending on your assets and the amount donated. You can reduce your IFI by up to €50,000, which corresponds to a maximum donation of €66,667.
The emlyon Foundation is eligible for Transnational Giving Europe (TGE), a network of partner foundations that allows you to benefit from the tax deductions available in your country of residence.
You can take advantage of this mechanism if you live in Switzerland, Italy, Germany, or Belgium.
Through Friends of Fondation de France, emlyon Foundation donors residing in the United States can benefit from taxdeductible contributions in accordance with U.S. regulations.
In partnership with Fondation de France Asia, residents of Hong Kong can benefit from tax deductions on their donations.
