TAKING ACTION FOR LOCAL RESIDENTS
CALL FOR COLLECTIVE INVOLVEMENT
For companies and foundations, corporate patronage is a commitment to regional development that promotes resilience, innovation, and solidarity. It offers companies, their employees, and the community an opportunity to work together on innovative projects with a real impact for local residents.
That is why, in 2022, the Coordinating Committee for Patronage in Montpellier and Montpellier Métropole was created. Its role is to facilitate connections between businesses and project leaders, following up on and promoting partnerships, and maintaining dialog with local stakeholders involved in philanthropy.
The Montpellier area is a place where corporate social responsibility goes hand in hand with local policy to create a virtuous circle of shared development. Corporate patronage has become a truly structuring approach with significant impact, linking economic performance, civic responsibility, and the public interest.
Montpellier invites all businesses, from startups to large corporations, including endowment funds, foundations, and associations, to support projects focused on global transitions, solidarity and social inclusion, youth, and neighborhoods.
Whether for access to culture, heritage, and art, preserving biodiversity, social cohesion, education and equal opportunities, or intergenerational solidarity, the real projects put forward by the community will reflect your areas of commitment and your preferences for action. Montpellier and Montpellier Métropole offer individual support, with dedicated tools tailored to each company and sector.
“NaïaGaïa is proud to support efforts to restore the banks of the Lez River. This is much more than an ecological project, thanks to the patronage partnership established with Montpellier and Montpellier Métropole, allowing us to reaffirm our commitment to bringing nature back to the heart of our communities.”
“It's a way to give back to the city and the metropolitan authority for what they do to help us through their proactive policy of revitalizing the city center. As a business that's been in the downtown Écusson district for over 20 years, we are fully committed to the initiatives led by public authorities to promote the historic center. This program, which reaches a wide, intergenerational audience, actively contributes to Montpellier's reputation and enhances its appeal on a regional scale.”
