A humanistic and universal vocation

Enabling fine ideas to be materialised

There are fine causes, with long-term projects that are innovative, well devised and truly inspired … but which, in order to succeed, need the strong support and encouragement of a committed partner.

Created in 2005 on the initiative of Dr Nicole Bru, with the aim of perpetuating the name and memory of the founders of the French pharmaceutical company UPSA Laboratoires, the Fondation Bru has a vocation to support, accompany, and in some cases simply make such projects possible.

The Fondation aims to be in the image of the family of enterprising researchers whose name it bears: committed, deeply humanistic, pioneering, serving a useful purpose. It wishes to make a lasting difference by giving impetus to some of the best ideas of today.

The Fondation Bru often steps in from the very beginning of projects, favouring their development and paving the way for new partnerships.

Nothing has any meaning unless it is at the service of Humanity

Man and his environment are at the heart of all the actions supported by the Fondation Bru. In very different fields, notably education and research, culture and heritage, the Fondation Bru is attentive to fine initiatives worldwide that are in line with its values: ambitious pioneering projects that are likely to further the cause they serve significantly.
