The Club Med Foundation: Almost 50 Years of Commitment

The more happiness is shared, the more it grows...
This belief led to the creation of the Club Med Foundation in 1978. With almost 50 years of history, it is one of the oldest corporate foundations. As a trailblazer, it was among the first to promote employee engagement in solidarity initiatives and the recycling of decommissioned equipment to benefit associations.

After pioneering employee engagement, the Club Med Foundation continues to innovate by developing new forms of solidarity that involve not only the time and skills of its teams but also the entire Club Med value chain. This benefits local associations through financial support, supplier involvement, donations of materials or vacations, the lending of infrastructure, and the engagement of both employees and customers.

The foundation focuses its efforts on two priority areas—youth and the environment—working with key partners located near Club Med sites, chosen for the effectiveness of their actions.

•Youth: Education and recreation for vulnerable youth
•Environment: Biodiversity protection

Key Figures:
• Over 300 partners supported in more than 25 countries
• More than 20,000 beneficiaries supported annually
• Over 1,000 free stays donated to partner associations

EDUCATION
• Electrification of schools
• Academic support
• Distribution of school supplies

RECREATION AND SPORTS
• Welcoming children to our Resorts: Planetary Snacks, Sports Schools (tennis, golf, swimming, archery, dance)

Created in 2012 in response to demand from our G.Ms (Gentils Membres), the "Les Amis de la Fondation Club Med" fundraising fund aims to welcome financial donations from our clients and partners who are increasingly eager to participate in the solidarity projects identified by the Club Med Corporate Foundation.

This fund is hosted by the King Baudouin Foundation in Belgium, ensuring the integrity of the selected projects and the reliability of the donation process.

Your donation is secure, and 100% of the amount goes to the beneficiary associations. Donors from France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Denmark, Canada, and the United States can receive a tax receipt.

There are many ways for G.Ms to contribute to the actions of the Club Med Foundation: during the booking process, once on-site, at fundraising events, or by donating their time, such as during reading workshops with children supported by the Casamasanté association in Senegal.
