As a non-profit organization, La Fondation ParisTech developps its numerous projects on a private-funded model, bringing together actors who wish to contribute to the Economy of Knowledge’s development and outreach.

As an « umbrella » fundation, it also offers a legal framework opportunity to persons willing to create their own fundation, provided their scope is consistent with the overall mission of La Fondation ParisTech.

Up to now, La Fondation ParisTech has three foundations under its aegis :

• la Fondation Maurice Allais, under aegis since 2011
• la Fondation AgroParisTech, under aegis since 2012.
• la Fondation 2100, under aegis since 2017.
