FONDATION CHANEL 

Fondation CHANEL aims for all women and adolescent girls to be free to shape their own destinies; it strives to achieve maximum impact by centring the needs of women with overlapping vulnerabilities. To this end, it pursues grant-making through two interdependent thematic pillars: (i) safety and (ii) economic and social autonomy by partnering with organisation in the UK and internationally.
