The Foundation puts together projects in cooperation with the business partner according to common stated goals.

 

Below are some examples of partnerships that can be created::

 Annual partnership: you choose Artères as your Foundation of the year. During this year, we help you organise fund raising campaigns such as 'matching gifts' (the business doubles the total amount of gifts made by the employees) or 'percentage gifts' (for each item sold, a percentage of the price goes to the Foundation).

 Project partnership:  the company chooses a project proposed  by the Scientific Committee of the Foundation which corresponds to the business’s image and communication theme, and which it commits to fund partially or in its entirety.

 Exchange partnership: a service or a payment in kind (press announcements, graphics, prints, etc.) gives the right to different advantages in terms of communication, such as using the name of the Foundation in your communication or having your brand name on the item produced for the Foundation.

 

How does it work? 

 Conception: common ground, mutual objectives, expectations and funding are set out at the initial meeting. At the first meeting, we will determine expectations of the partnership, the objectives of the two parties and the budget.

 Contract: on this basis, a contract between the company and the Foundation is drafted. The contract includes the usual clauses on the rights and duties of each party which also refer to the use of the logo and name of the Artères Foundation, the presence of the company within the Foundation community and the amount that will be allocated to the Foundation. The basis on wich this amount may also figure in the contract.

 For the duration of the program, we will be in regular contact with the company to supervise implementation of the contract.

 Evaluation: once the funding program is over and the contract has been fulfilled, a program evaluation is carried out in coordination with the business partner, and the possiblity of pursuing the partnership is explored.

In all cases, the Foundation will abide by its charter of ethics.
