Fundraiser & Communication Officer (W/M)

Advens for People and Planet

Advens for People and Planet endowment fund was created in 2021 on the initiative of Alexandre Fayeulle, Chairman and Founder of Advens.​

The raison d'être of the endowment fund (shared with Advens) is to turn vulnerability into a strength for cyber, people and the planet.​

Advens for People and Planet has two main missions:​

• to help the people and organisations that make a positive contribution to our lives and our democracies to benefit from digital technology with confidence;​
• to transform society by helping to change the way we look at vulnerability and therefore at performance.

The fund is active in three areas, with a strong focus on cooperation to ensure maximum impact:​

• Education & Inclusion
• Democracy & Digital
• New economy & Sobriety
