Céline Sanchez, General Delegate of the Fondation Crédit Agricole Brie Picardie and Head of Solidarity Development, leads initiatives like the Passerelle association, which provides free assistance to those excluded from traditional banking systems.

Founded at the end of 2020, the Fondation Crédit Agricole Brie Picardie aims to enhance its impact on the region, covering the departments of Somme, Oise, and Seine-et-Marne. This corporate sponsorship initiative works for the public good by focusing on four major areas: Solidarity and social cohesion, Innovation and creation, Promotion of the territory, Health and well-being.

Each year, the Foundation launches a call for projects in the field of social and solidarity economy. Associations with at least one year of existence can submit initiatives starting from 10,000 euros.

“We want to be much more than just financial support,” explains Céline Sanchez. “We are seen as a creator of connections and trust. We dare to finance not only investments but also the operational aspects of projects. Listening to the community, supporting, and accompanying project leaders are at the heart of our mission.”
The Foundation is also committed to promoting innovation, whether social or environmental, by helping to disseminate projects that sustainably transform the territory.

“Our ambition is to make this Foundation a lever of meaning and pride, both for our employees and for the administrators and elected officials who submit ideas to us and serve as local relays.”
By daring to support innovative and inclusive initiatives, the Fondation Crédit Agricole Brie Picardie contributes to energizing communities and building a more supportive and resilient society.
