Excelia Foundation

Excelia Foundation supports equal opportunities and is committed to developing projects in the philanthropic areas of Disability, Diversity and Responsible Entrepreneurship.

“Making sure everyone has the opportunity to study at Excelia means we are shaping a positive future.”

Excelia is a veritable incubator for talent. The primary purpose of the Foundation is to cultivate this talent, facilitating the success and development of the entire Excelian community, whilst remaining attentive to personal difficulties and situations. The Excelia Foundation was created for this reason, with the aim of raising funds and supporting projects that reflect the school’s values… uniting talent, bringing people together and helping them realise their projects. As an Excelia graduate, Class of 2007, and now Chairman of the Foundation, my ambition is to support Excelia’s stakeholders in developing an equal opportunities policy through tangible actions, social and cultural awareness, and a strong entrepreneurial mindset that is shared by all.
Pierre-Marie HAUTIER, Chairman of the Excelia Foundation

Our mission

Excelia Foundation… placing PEOPLE at the heart of everything we do!

Created in 2019 under the auspices of France’s leading philanthropy network, the Fondation de France, and resulting from the efforts of its 8 founding members, the aim of the Excelia Foundation is to support the school in strengthening its equal opportunities policy.
