Foundation
At the origin of this initiative is Andera Partners’ desire to have a greater impact on its ecosystem and to unite communities and its teams around sustainable issues.
The Andera Partners foundation
Andera Partners has an accelerated sponsorship approach since 2018, marked by the creation of the Andera Partners Foundation in 2021, hosted by the Fondation de France.
The Andera Partners Foundation acts at different levels, through financial support and skills sponsorship, but also through the direct involvement of its teams in concrete initiatives with supported associations.
The Foundation is managed by an Executive Committee, composed of 5 members from the Andera Partners teams and 3 independent members.
ASSOCIATIONS SUPPORTED
The Andera Partners Foundation has been supporting associations whose actions resonate with its values for several years. The Foundation mobilizes its support around 4 themes identified by the management company as priorities for its commitment to sustainable development:
- Environmental preservation
- Education
- Health
- Fight against discrimination
Centre Gustave Roussy
Europe’s leading cancer center and the fourth best cancer hospital in the world, Gustave Roussy is a healthcare, research and teaching institute that cares for patients with all types of cancer, at all stages of life. Its expertise in rare cancers and complex tumours is internationally acknowledged.
Since 2024, Andera Partners has been financially supporting the Interception program, whose ambition is to offer personalized prevention to people at increased risk of cancer. The aim is to develop the “Scorisk” tool, a free online tool for healthcare professionals that identifies risk situations for several cancers in just a few clicks, using validated scores and algorithms, and to be able to refer patients directly to an Interception center.
