Notaries and asset managers

In 2019, the Centre national de recherche scientifique (CNRS), a French multidisciplinary research organization, created the CNRS Foundation, a partnership foundation whose aim is to contribute directly or indirectly to the development and promotion of the CNRS, in all areas corresponding to its missions, as well as scientific and technological research, in France and internationally.

The Foundation is managed on a disinterested basis. It operates on a not-for-profit basis and is eligible for tax incentives for sponsorship, meeting the conditions set out in Articles 200, 238 bis and 978 of the General Tax Code.

Partnership foundations can be likened to charitable foundations by virtue of their characteristics: special resources (donations, sponsorship, income from public generosity, investment property), unlimited lifespan, ability to house foundations under their aegis.
