The 1 OCEAN Foundation

The 1 OCEAN Foundation under the aegis of the CNRS Foundation was created in 2022 by Alexis Rosenfeld, John Jackson and Claire Monchauzou. Sheltered by the CNRS Foundation, it benefits from its advantages, particularly in the administrative and legal sectors, while keeping possession of its operational autonomy. More specifically, this status enables the 1 OCEAN Foundation to receive donations and legacies. The CNRS Foundation benefits from the same tax advantages as a foundation recognized as being in the public interest. It has also established links with TGE (Transnational Giving Europe) to enable European donors to benefit from tax reductions in their own countries.

The CNRS Foundation
La Fondation CNRS contribue directement ou indirectement au développement et à la promotion du CNRS (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique), dans tous les domaines correspondant à ses missions, ainsi que de la recherche scientifique et technologie, en France et à l’international.
To this end, the CNRS Foundation has adopted an action plan to promote ambitious and free research:
The Foundation is developing its activities around corporate, individual and major donor sponsorship in order to :
- Build a scientific awards policy for researchers
- Enhance the technological capacities of laboratories
- Develop the attractiveness of new talents and help them flourish, by financing significant installation grants.
- Fund theses on fundamental, exploratory and risky subjects
- Financing high-stakes research projects.
The CNRS Foundation is a sheltering foundation. It thus offers the possibility of creating sheltered foundations or foundations under aegis. The CNRS Foundation carries the legal status for 1 OCEAN’s founders, and relieves them of administrative and management burdens, enabling them to devote themselves solely to supporting the causes they have chosen.
"The multidisciplinary nature of CNRS research offers a broad panorama, ranging from climate change to educational inequalities. The CNRS Foundation, through its various levers of action - corporate sponsorship, funded projects or foundations under aegis - facilitates support for these numerous research projects."
