Foundation
At the origin of this initiative is Andera Partners’ desire to have a greater impact on its ecosystem and to unite communities and its teams around sustainable issues.
The Andera Partners foundation
Andera Partners has an accelerated sponsorship approach since 2018, marked by the creation of the Andera Partners Foundation in 2021, hosted by the Fondation de France.
The Andera Partners Foundation acts at different levels, through financial support and skills sponsorship, but also through the direct involvement of its teams in concrete initiatives with supported associations.
The Foundation is managed by an Executive Committee, composed of 5 members from the Andera Partners teams and 3 independent members.
