Founded in 2005 by alumni, the ESCP Foundation has been recognized as a public-interest foundation since 2012. It supports the strategic projects of ESCP Business School. Through an ambitious philanthropic approach, the Foundation mobilizes a community of alumni, companies and committed partners to drive the School’s transformation and strengthen its position as a European leader.

In 2025, the Foundation launched #RisingTogether, the School’s first major fundraising campaign, with a goal of raising €100 million by 2029. The campaign supports two strategic priorities:


Faculty & Research: hiring 100 international professors, developing academic chairs and professorships, supporting the School’s strategic institutes (LIGhTS), creating a European research fund, and fostering ever more innovative and interdisciplinary teaching.

Student Experience: significantly increasing the number of scholarship recipients, developing the pan-European incubator, improving infrastructure across the six campuses, and promoting student well-being and inclusion.

In addition, the campaign seeks to grow the endowment fund to ensure the long-term sustainability and impact of these initiatives.

Driven by a dedicated team and a Board of Directors made up of business leaders, alumni, and esteemed professionals, the ESCP Foundation acts as a catalyst for the School’s ambitions and embodies its mission: to educate enlightened, agile leaders who are open to the world and capable of driving lasting transformation in business and society.
