Management

Ludovic Donnadieu, founder and director of the Foundation, is a certified public accountant and auditor, as well as the founder and director of the firm  Donnadieu & Associésdedicated to safeguarding international aid funds.

Alongside his professional career, he has personally assembled two collections that are unique in the world and of great historical, sociological, and artistic significance: one, *Forgotten Glances of Children Around the World*, brings together testimonies of childhood in the early 20th century—a world now forgotten; the other, *Culture(s)*, is a treasure trove of ancient works from ancient cultures around the world. Driven by his commitment to disadvantaged youth, he has graciously entrusted the full and exclusive use, as well as the administration, of his collections to the “ Fondation Donnadieu ” for its cultural initiatives.

Société Donnadieu

Since the Fondation pour l’Enfance, which oversees the Fondation Donnadieu, does not allow the development of commercial activities within its structure, all commercial activities related to the sale of cultural products and services have been entrusted to Donnadieu Ltd., a company created specifically for this purpose, including through the store featured on this website.

To support the actions of the Fondation Donnadieu, a substantial portion of the profits is transferred to the foundation.
