Fonds ABILITIS

The Fonds ABILITIS (formerly the Fonds Handicap & Société par Intégrance) aims to improve the situation of disabled, sick and dependent people, by implementing innovative actions, particularly in the fields of health, employment, social life and leisure. Supporting the Fund enables companies to benefit from ethical communication and to support the most vulnerable people in their projects and life paths. 

Committed for many years alongside the musée du quai Branly – Jacques Chirac, the Fonds ABILITIS has supported the institution’s initiatives promoting accessibility and cultural mediation since 2010. Its support has led to the enhancement of interactive tools, the backing of projects carried out with AP-HP (Paris public hospitals), and contributions to improving accessibility in several temporary exhibitions.

Over the years, the Fonds ABILITIS has helped develop innovative tools enabling all audiences — including younger visitors and people with disabilities — to enjoy a meaningful and inclusive museum experience: educational resources for children, specific adaptations within exhibition routes, equipment designed to enhance sensory accessibility, and French Sign Language adaptations.

This long-standing partnership reflects a shared commitment to fostering cultural openness and inclusion. In this spirit, the Fonds ABILITIS now wishes to strengthen its involvement by becoming a patron of the museum’s twentieth anniversary — a landmark celebration of two decades of dialogue between cultures and of promoting the arts and civilizations of the world.
