For 30 years, Fondation CNP Assurances has been working on public health issues alongside non-profit partners. Together, we are seeing a continuous deterioration in the health of young people in France.
In 2025, we decided to refocus our action on a new focus called: Taking action for young people’s health . We are thus pursuing our commitment to associations that work in favour of the physical and mental health of young people.
In this context, the CNP Assurances Foundation launched a new call for projects in January 2026 to support projects with a strong social and societal impact, with a particular focus on young people in vulnerable situations.
Projects to support young people in vulnerable situations
These projects were to concern both mental health - early detection, appropriate care, prevention, etc. - and physical health - access to care, health education, the fight against obesity and sedentary lifestyles, cardiovascular diseases, the fight against addictions, etc.
On June 18, at the end of the selection process, the Foundation's Board of Directors selected three associations.
Three new projects committed to the health of young people
- Aïda and the Highway to Health programme: this first national post-cancer programme meets the specific needs of the 15-25 age group. At the crossroads of paediatrics and adult medicine, it combines physical and mental health, social and professional integration, reconstruction of the life project... Aïda aims to reach 1,400 direct beneficiaries over two years.
- e-Enfance and the 3018 Tour: the CNP Assurances Foundation supports prevention and awareness-raising actions on digital risks and the proper use of screens among young people, their families and professionals. These actions, deployed as close as possible to the territories, aim to collectively promote a balance between online and off-screen life.
- Im’Pactes and the Asterya centres: the association has created the first model in France of health centres dedicated to children entrusted to the Aide Sociale à l'Enfance (ASE). They offer a systematic assessment and comprehensive care to these children. Im'Pactes plans to support 7,000 beneficiaries over two years.
The Foundation's Board of Directors has also decided to support, outside of a call for projects, the Pépinière d'Avenirs association, as part of its call for Expression of Interest (AMI) Santé 2026. It is a national scheme with high potential that finances innovative projects to improve access to care and sustainably structure the health pathways of young people in child welfare.
A selection process informed by consultation and dialogue
To evaluate the projects received, the Foundation relied on collective intelligence. It has set up two advisory committees, one of which brought together young people and the second of CNP Assurances employees. They gave their opinion and shared their points of vigilance on the finalist projects.
And to feed into the board's decision-making process, the Foundation consulted experts in the health sector.
This selection process through consultation and exchange made it possible to select projects rooted in the realities on the ground and as close as possible to the needs of young people.
A new focus broken down into a multi-year action plan
To make these projects grow, we rely on a multi-year action plan based on four main principles:
- a commitment to emerging social issues,
- projects co-constructed with partner associations,
- the possibility of supporting pilot projects with a view to a future spin-off on a larger scale to reach as many people as possible,
- impact measurement criteria integrated from the beginning of the project.
