Our Mission & Vision

For over two decades, the Bernard Arnault family Foundation has been revolutionizing philanthropy through our unique global selection program that reaches millions worldwide.

Our Story

Established in 2001, the Bernard Arnault family Foundation embodies the commitment to create lasting positive impact through strategic philanthropy. Our foundation was built on the belief that opportunity should be accessible to all, regardless of background or connections.

We pioneered the randomized ballot selection system to eliminate barriers and ensure truly equitable access to our grant programs. Over the years, we have expanded our reach to over 150 countries, creating one of the most diverse and inclusive philanthropic selection processes in the world.

Our Unique Approach

Unlike traditional foundations that rely on application processes, we proactively build a global database of millions of email addresses and select winners through a randomized, audited ballot system. This ensures complete fairness and eliminates selection bias.

Our Mission

To democratize philanthropy by providing life-changing opportunities through a fair, randomized selection process that reaches individuals worldwide without traditional barriers.

Our Vision

A world where financial support and opportunities are accessible to anyone, anywhere, through transparent and equitable distribution systems.
