Iris Foundation

Created in 2012, Iris Foundation (Foundation Iris) is a private foundation under the aegis of Fondation de France. The Foundation aims to promote conservation of the environment and supports actions to preserve or restore vulnerable sites, whether cultural or natural, as well as actions to respond concretely to the loss of biodiversity in all kinds of environment (land, marine, or peri-urban). The Foundation also supports artists whose works are concerned with public awareness of problematic sites, landscapes and species to be protected, or whose productions play an active role toward the protection and enhancement of these sites. The Foundation also launches regular grants for young nature photographers.
