The Foundation
In the past, responsAbility SAS and MicroWorld.org provided funding for microfinance institutions, whilst MicroCred and mBank focused on financing entrepreneurs. FinanCités supported entrepreneurs in France’s deprived urban areas by taking equity in their businesses and by offering them personalised coaching.
Today, the Positive Planet Foundation supports Positive Planet's NGO projects by organising different key events throughout the year: particularly the Positive Planet Awards and the Positive Cinema Week as well as charity dinners.
