Give the Ecole Polytechnique the means to go even further

 

Every donation is important to the development of your École

Apart from the financial issue, it is vital for every former École Polytechnique student to support the "X" development project. The larger the donation, the easier it will be to allocate it to a precise project and give greater visibility to your contribution.

There are different ways to contribute:

Make a personal 5-year commitment for a minimum of 25,000 € (5,000 € a year) and join the "Cercle Poincaré" or the "Club Monge". You will be offered an adapted recognition program according to the level of your contribution.

Contribute to the annual Campaign fund at your own level and pace and join the "Binet des Donateurs". Every year, the Foundations in France, the United States and Great Britain will be running a communication campaign for the annual fund. You can also make a donation online.

Join a Polytechnique community group to make a group donation to the Campaign: a donation from an AX professional or leisure club, a donation from former students working in the same company, a donation from former students living in the same country, or a year-group donation to celebrate a birthday. We will be pleased to help you set up an operation of this type, contact us.

Allocation of donations:

Depending on the size of your donation over several years, it may be allocated to one of the 4 Campaign themes. If the amount is high enough, it may even be allocated to a precise project (e.g. scholarships for foreign students, grants for doctoral students, measures to attract teacher- researchers, new laboratories, equal opportunities project, etc). See the Recognition Program.

The donation may also be "open allocation", in which case the Board of Directors of the Foundation - or its equivalent in the United States and United Kingdom - will decide on how to allocate it, based on proposals from the Campaign's internal steering committee.

Capitalization:

If the donation is large enough, it may be capitalized as part of the École Polytechnique Foundation endowment fund, which is a non-consumable fund that uses its investment income to finance the long-term running of an activity. We will be pleased to talk to you about any proposal linked to your interests and the level of your contribution.
