Our history

Why create a Foundation?

The BSB Foundation, created in 2014, is almost 10 years old and is thus entering a second phase of its development.

The ambition is development engine for our School. The ambition to be an increasingly recognized school in France and internationally.

The values of the BSB Foundation

The BSB Foundation is a foundation that reflects our students, our graduates and our School, supporting our values: support, integrity, diversity, entrepreneurial spirit and teamwork.

The 1900 door, the emblem of the Foundation, is historically part of these values and the DNA of BSB.

While our students make great efforts to join our School, some find themselves in extremely precarious financial situations, which may force them to stop their studies, despite their talents and their desire to succeed.

A creator of the future since 1900, BSB cannot resign itself to this injustice. Recognizing its responsibility and its social role, the School is committed to a process of bringing together and mobilizing its entire community. We rely on the generosity of our partner companies and that of our graduates to open the doors to their future for all these students.

With your financial support, we will be able to make their dream of success come true together.

Our team

Placed under the aegis of the Fondation de France, the BSB Foundation guarantees all of its donors, individuals and companies, a rigorous and transparent management of their donation. It is administered by a Executive Committee of 12 members which meets at least once a year and is composed as follows:

2 representatives of the co-founding members
6 donor representatives
5 qualified personalities
The CEO of BSB or his representative

The members of the Executive Committee define and implement the Foundation's strategy, in line with the School's strategy and the expectations of stakeholders. The executive committee votes on the budget and decides on the actions to be supported and the amounts to be allocated to the beneficiaries. It also ensures the proper implementation of the selected projects.

Finally, it reviews the accounts for the financial year ended and, if necessary, makes any remarks or observations. He is supported in his missions by Sophie Pouchet-Pellerin and Nathalie Huet and a representative of the Fondation de France.
