Description
1) Objective
The Wavestone Foundation, formerly the Solucom Foundation, was founded in 2009 by Michel Dancoisne and Pascal Imbert with a view to harnessing the success of the consultancy firm they founded in 1990 for the benefit of a humanitarian cause. They decided to focus the Foundation’s work on disadvantaged children, a cause they feel strongly about despite being far removed from their business field. The mission of the Foundation is to work in France and internationally on supporting and developing initiatives to help disadvantaged children, particularly those in situations of poverty or extreme deprivation.
The 2026/27 Call for Projects aims to support initiatives and development programmes designed to sustainably improve the health and well-being of children displaced as a result of political crises, conflicts, and climate- or environmentally-related shocks. Particular attention will be given to children aged 0-11 years (migrant, refugee or internally displaced children) and their families. This age group has been identified as a key target because it represents a crucial phase of child development, during which disruptions caused by displacement can have significant consequences on education, health, safety and identity formation.
2) Eligibility
Applicants must be based in France or in a country where Wavestone has an office: Belgium, the United States, Hong Kong, Singapore, Luxembourg, Morocco, the United Kingdom and Switzerland.
3) Location
Projects must combat severe child malnutrition, particularly in fragile countries (mainly Africa, America, Asia).
4) Budget
The Foundation subsidizes no more than 50% of the total cost of a project and a maximum of €10,000 per project. Every year the Wavestone Foundation accepts and finances around 10 projects.
5) Application
Applications must be submitted online. The application deadline is 15 September 2026.
