Summary

The TotalEnergies Foundation is the corporate foundation of TotalEnergies, the French multinational energy company and AEPW founding member. The foundation runs an annual call for projects supporting associations in France that work with young people aged 12 to 25 in four priority areas: Education and Inclusion, Road Safety, Climate and Coastal Protection, and Cultural Dialogue and Heritage. The Climate, Coastal Areas and Oceans priority area focuses on protecting coastal ecosystems and their biodiversity as a means of professional inclusion for vulnerable youth. This involves connecting young people to environmental careers in coastal and marine settings, which can encompass beach and coastal cleanup activities, marine biodiversity monitoring, and sustainable coastal livelihoods. The foundation funds approximately 100 partner associations per year and looks for organizations with proven, operational projects that can scale. The 2026 call opened in February 2026 with applications accepted through the foundation's online portal. Guidance documents are published in French. For organizations primarily active in developing countries and Denmark, the TotalEnergies Foundation is a poor fit due to its strong France-focus. However, TotalEnergies itself (as AEPW founding member) may be approachable for project-specific partnerships in regions like Africa or Indonesia. The international actions section of the foundation website covers some global philanthropic work.

Historical Context

Foundation has run annual calls since the 2010s. AEPW founding member. 2026 call launched in February 2026 — previous years followed similar annual timing.
