AXA is reinventing its vision of philanthropy with the creation of the AXA Foundation for Human Progress.
AXA is now bringing together its main philanthropic initiatives, both in France and internationally, under the new AXA Foundation for Human Progress, which is endowed with €60 million per year. This Foundation aims to support high-impact projects in the cultural, scientific, environmental, social, and societal fields, in France and in the 50 other countries where the Group operates.
In an increasingly complex and risky world, marked by challenges such as climate change, social inequalities, and health crises, AXA's commitment aims to go beyond its responsibilities as an insurer and the mere coverage of risks; it is primarily about promoting the construction of a more resilient and inclusive future.
This project is in line with AXA's mission: Acting for human progress by protecting what matters.
By consolidating its historical commitments in the fields of culture, environment, health, and science, AXA is equipping itself with the means to achieve its ambitions in order to better protect and support current and future generations.
Through the establishment of a centralized platform, rigorous monitoring, and the simplification of access to its financial support, AXA aims to bring together a diverse range of partners from the associative, institutional, academic, and cultural sectors who share its values and vision of protection.
Different communities of actors actively working for positive change for all and to reduce all forms of vulnerability or social inequalities are invited to mobilize around four pillars of action that address the challenges of our society:
The AXA Foundation for Human Progress is an invitation to rethink responsible and supportive engagement. Because the future should not be a risk, but an opportunity to act together to mend the present and prepare for tomorrow.

General Delegate of the AXA Foundation for Human Progress
As an insurer, our role is to protect what matters to our clients and to society. In an increasingly complex world, where health crises, social inequalities, and climate change are real concerns, our commitment takes on a crucial dimension. We firmly believe that our responsibility goes beyond risk coverage. It is about actively contributing to building a resilient and inclusive future. With this foundation, we affirm our commitment to present and future generations.
Acting with different communities of actors for positive change for all, we are mobilized around four pillars of action that address the challenges of our society: science, nature, solidarity, inclusion, education, and art, culture and heritage.

AXA is proud to announce the launch of Unlock Education, an ambitious program in partnership with Ashoka, a global NGO leader in social innovation.

The initiative aims to strengthen prevention, early detection, support, and long-term recovery for children at risk. In its first year, the program will focus on France, Spain, and Colombia.
