Investing in solidarity: S612 Foundation
True to our values, Lifento is offering investors the chance to join forces by taking part in a solidarity financing initiative through the payment of a proportion of their dividends to the S612 Foundation. The aim is to support social projects of general interest, in line with Lifento's ethical, responsible and committed property investment policy.
Founded by Lifento in July 2021 and placed under the sponsorship of the Fondation de France, the S612 Foundation aims to support, promote and accompany initiatives in favour of vulnerable people in the childhood, health and education sectors, both in France and internationally.
Why S612?
The name of the foundation refers to asteroid B 612, where the Little Prince lives in Saint-Exupéry's book. By choosing this evocative name and replacing the letter 'B' with the letter 'S' for « solidarity », the S612 Foundation is positioning itself at the heart of the « Finance galaxy » as a place where actions and dialogue are dedicated to children in difficulty and are promoting socially responsible finance.
An innovative mechanism
The foundation is financed through an innovative mechanism of dividend shares in all Lifento funds. Investors are therefore invited to freely give up 1/10th of their dividends to benefit the projects supported by the S612 Foundation. Lifento has contributed an equivalent amount to the payments already made via these shares.
We support them
For 2025/2026, the S612 Foundation has chosen to continue its partnerships with associations already supported :
The Association Léa, supported since 2023, helps families of disabled children to better manage their daily lives, both at home and in hospital, and provides support to these same families in the cumbersome administrative procedures involved in applying for aid. This helps parents to manage the complexity of these procedures, which they are immediately and permanently confronted with when applying for files. The donation from the S612 Foundation has enabled us to open offices in Paris, where we can welcome parents and their children in person.
The Association Les Papillons, supported since 2023, aims to change the law and attitudes to incest, and to help victims and their families rebuild their lives following this trauma. Through a system of letterboxes in schools and sports centres, the association provides practical solutions to help children, organisations and parents combat incest and bullying at school. The funds received by the association have been used to set up the psychological centre, professionalising the analysis of the words received in the letterboxes.
We have also decided to support new associations :
The Fondation Comyces pour l’Enfance aims to support sick children, particularly those with cancer, and their families through “Un Hotel pour mes parents” project. This platform, which is available free of charge to all stakeholders, allows hospitals to search for availability in nearby hotels and, if necessary, reserve a room on behalf of a family whose child is hospitalized there. The family of the hospitalized child (the beneficiary) is thus provided with free accommodation in a quality hotel near the hospital where their child is being treated. For hotels, providing overnight stays is equivalent to a donation to the Foundation. It is a virtuous and supportive system that provides families with accommodation.
The Fonds de dotation Capsule d’Art aims to support and conduct activities of general interest, both cultural and social, designed to support research and the operational implementation of innovative projects combining art and care for people who are vulnerable due to their health or social situation. The project we are supporting this year is the deployment of art therapy capsules in palliative care units to offer end-of-life patients a final space where ART relieves pain, softens hearts, and reinvents dignity in their final moments thanks to the intervention of an art therapist specially trained for this purpose.
APAR-Autisme supports people with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and their families. It defends the right of people with autism to flourish in society and works to promote their recognition and integration in all areas of social life: education, health, sports and leisure, accommodation, and work. We support the project L'ESCAMPETTE. This is a shared home for adults with autism that promotes inclusion and independence. It is located in the south of France. The house is not yet ready to be occupied, but our funds will help to renovate it.
Ensemble2générations helps rebuild bridges between generations through intergenerational cohabitation at home, in nursing homes, or in shared housing. By helping to bring generations closer together and encouraging older people to remain in their own homes, Ensemble2générations provides a suitable response to the aging population, while supporting family caregivers and helping young people escape precariousness.
Our previous partnerships
La maison de Marthe et Marie, supported for three years between 2022 and 2024, offers shared, supportive housing for expectant mothers in difficulty. By contributing to the operating costs of this facility, the Foundation is helping to provide an inclusive space where mothers can rebuild their lives in a safe environment while preparing to welcome their children into the world in the best possible conditions.
The Association Helebor, supported in 2023 and 2024, conducts all activities of general interest and social and scientific assistance with a view to enhancing, promoting, and supporting the development and dissemination of palliative care in France. The specific project we are supporting is a fundamental research program called “NanoDoc.” A consortium of four French research teams is working to develop a new innovative therapy to treat bone pain in children suffering from bone cancers called osteosarcoma and Ewing's sarcoma. This therapy aims to manufacture nanoparticles coupled with an analgesic and deliver this analgesic directly to the tumor site to be more effective and avoid the side effects of oral medication.
The Association Equiphoria, supported in 2022 and 2024, takes care of people with disabilities every year. This neurological rehabilitation institute using hippotherapy provides personalized care aimed at improving their independence and quality of life, thanks to a comprehensive therapeutic approach combining cutting-edge knowledge in the field of neuroscience and the use of horses. Through its support, the S612 Foundation enabled the acquisition of two horses in 2022, which patients suffering from serious conditions can use to develop their potential. In 2024/2025, the stable expanded once again with two new horses.
With the experience of the Fondation de France and the involvement of an independent college responsible for selecting the beneficiary projects, we are keen to launch a process that provides a concrete illustration of what a socially responsible investment policy should be, by bringing on board a large number of financial players, well beyond Lifento.
