Fondation CHANEL was created in 2011 to support projects that aim to improve the economic and social conditions of women and adolescent girls around the world. Its mission is to advance women’s and girls’ independence and empowerment through an integrated approach by increasing their access to economic resources and entrepreneurship opportunities, culture, education and training, leadership and decision-making as well as health and social protection. The Foundation currently supports more than 65 projects in 35 countries worldwide.
To sustain its commitment to women, Fondation CHANEL also supports knowledge generation for the philanthropic sector through operational research, program evaluation and case studies.
