Fondation Culture et Diversité

Fondation Culture et Diversité is a private foundation in France. It aims at helping young people from HLM housing projects start a career in the arts.[1]

Overview

It was founded by Marc Ladreit de Lacharrière, the CEO of FIMALAC, in 2006.[1][2][3][4][5] The director is Eléanore Ladret de Lacharrière, his daughter.[1][4]

It has an endowment of 15 million euros.[2][4] It has partnered with the École du Louvre, La Fémis, and the Théâtre du Rond-Point.[1]

According to journalist Évelyne Pieiller, "the operation is a major success in two respects: it consecrates the intrusion of the private into the public, since the foundation, directed by Éléonore Ladreit de Lacharrière, daughter of the billionaire, relies on a partnership tripartite with the Ministries of National Education and Culture; and it tends to influence curricula by differentiating school "publics"».[6]
