Support YouthShare
Your donation funds the research, advocacy, mentoring, international dialogue and foresight of the five YouthShare Initiatives labs. Each donation comes with a French tax receipt, sent by email after payment.
Your donation
A donation in three steps
Payment goes through HelloAsso, a licensed payment institution, which passes your whole donation on to YouthShare Initiatives.
The editorial board alone decides what is published: your donation supports the association’s work, and the content of analyses stays in the hands of the authors and the board.

The tax receipt
HelloAsso issues the receipt in the name of YouthShare Initiatives and emails it to you after payment. Keep it: it supports your tax reduction with the tax authorities.
Corporate giving
A company or a foundation supports YouthShare Initiatives with a donation, which entitles it to the 60% tax reduction, or builds a partnership with the association: support for a lab or a programme, skills-based sponsorship, a mentoring programme. An agreement sets out each party’s commitments; the editorial board alone decides what is published.
To prepare corporate support
- Your organisation and its sector
- The lab or programme you would like to support
- The form of support: donation, skills, mentoring
- Your timetable
