The Edmond de Rothschild Foundations is an international philanthropic network promoting arts, entrepreneurship, health and philanthropy best practices. These Foundations are harnessing a longstanding heritage, promoting excellence and driving change across their projects[1][2][3]. The network is comprised of ten foundations in France, Switzerland, Spain, the United States and Israel which develop over a hundred programs across twenty countries[4][5].

Principles

modifier

The main mission of the Edmond de Rothschild Foundations is to promote empowerment for an inclusive and collaborative society[6]. These principles have been the driving force since 2005, when Ariane and Benjamin de Rothschild set out upon the transformation of their family’s philanthropic legacy.

In an interview, Ariane de Rothschild declared that the Edmond de Rothschild Foundations have moved from a “philanthropy of grant donations without expectations to a model of return on engagement”[7]. They apply an entrepreneurial approach to giving and the professionalization of the philanthropic sector more broadly.

The Edmond de Rothschild Foundations build a tight network of partnerships favouring mainly co-development and experimentation labs. The methodology combines cross-fertilization, entrepreneurial drive and innovation with a view to identify and fructify impactful philanthropic solutions[8][9].

Main projects

Each generation has made its own contribution to building an exceptional philanthropic legacy, and current initiatives continue to exemplify this commitment. Through its partnerships the Foundations aim to leverage social impact of arts in society. They support the contributions of theatre, music and visual arts to strengthen communities, build skills and fight inequalities[10].
