There are fine causes, with projects that are innovative, well conceived and truly inspired … but which, in order to succeed, need the strong support and encouragement of a committed partner.
The Fondation Bru is prepared to support and accompany such projects, in some cases quite simply making them possible.

Gilles Caron - Scrapbook: a pictorial biography, a tribute to the photojournalist
In a short, dazzling and prolific career, Gilles Caron (1939-1970) became an icon of photojournalism. Yet while his photographs are remembered and are part of our heritage, the man himself has been almost forgotten since his death.
Created by the photographer’s family, the Gilles Caron Foundation aims to bring greater recognition to the man himself and to keep his work as an artist alive.
