The social impact program for a brighter tomorrow

A social impact program for equal opportunities

Translated as “tomorrow” in French, DEMAIN, the social impact program created by Sézane founder Morgane Sézalory in 2018, supports global charities working to equalize access to fundamental rights, including health, education, and culture—through non-profit partner organizations, including The Women’s Cancer Research Fund, a program of the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, Libraries Without Borders US, and the Young Women's Trust.

Driven by the conviction that a better future is achievable through transparency, trust, and collaborative work, DEMAIN partners with worldwide non-profit organizations rigorously selected based on four criteria: scope, governance, financial stability, and impact measurement. We share a privileged relationship of trust with our partners and are committed to supporting them over the long term, directing funds where they are most needed. Since its creation, over €10 million has been redistributed to support dozens of nonprofits and directly impact the lives of 80,000 children, teenagers, and adults.

While these achievements have surpassed our objectives, we know we can still achieve so much more. So, in the years to come, we will go even further by providing additional resources and visibility to our non-profit partners and expanding our scope of action throughout the world.

Every action sparks hope and helps us imagine a better future, which we can start today.

Thank you a thousand times over for yesterday, today, and in advance for tomorrow.

Morgane Sézalory - Founder of DEMAIN

ABOUT

The entities of the social impact program DEMAIN

The DEMAIN endowment fund, independent and based in France, supports projects in France and in the European Union. Governance is organized around:
- A Board of Directors which meets twice a year to define the fund's strategy and key guidelines.
- An Investment Advisory Committee, comprising six external participants with expertise in philanthropy, which advises the fund on investment decisions and determines funding priorities.
- An Executive Board, which is responsible for selecting non-profit organizations, redistributing funds, and monitoring and measuring impact. The Executive Board meets with the partner associations every six months to review fund allocation and assess the projects supported.

The DEMAIN Fund's annual accounts are established by a chartered accountancy firm (ENDRIX) and certified by an auditor (MAZARS).

Both DEMAIN funds are hosted by the Charities Aid Foundation (CAF), a charitable organization operating in the United Kingdom, the United States, and Canada. With extensive experience in the philanthropic sector, CAF provides fund management and advisory services to both donors and nonprofit organizations. This partnership allows DEMAIN to support American and British nonprofits working in areas such as health, education, and more. It ensures the transparent and effective distribution of funds to important causes, strengthening the impact of the DEMAIN program on an international scale.

In the US, DEMAIN is a donor-advised fund administered by CAF America, a US-based nonprofit organization, registered under EIN number 43-1634280.
In the UK, DEMAIN is a donor-advised fund administered by CAF, a UK-registered charity, registered under the number 268369.

DEMAIN supports nonprofit organizations that ensure children have access to their fundamental rights and work to improve women’s physical and mental health. By funding innovative structures and organizations capable of addressing current and future challenges, DEMAIN aims to reduce inequalities and ensure equitable access to resources, opportunities, and care—contributing to a more inclusive and supportive society.

DEMAIN supports a systemic approach to change, prioritizing trust-based philanthropy through flexible, unrestricted, and long-term funding.

Childhood and equal opportunity require a long-term commitment, and as such, DEMAIN has chosen to focus its support a carefully selected number of organizations, ensuring their development and maximizing their impact over time.

The DEMAIN Social Impact Program remains attentive to the needs of eligible organizations that meet its selection criteria, within the limits of available funding.
