Becoming a patron enables you to:

Accelerate the emergence of breakthrough solutions and innovations in science and medicine

Offer your employees a unifying cause that carries real meaning

Benefit from tailored support built as closely as possible around your objectives.

Join the Muscle Impact Initiative: a series of exclusive meetings to share ideas and build momentum around muscle as a public health issue.

Choosing your form of philanthropy

Your commitment can take a number of forms, on their own or combined.

A strategic partnership, comprehensive or thematic, to support a major scaling up
Financial philanthropy, one-off or multi-year, earmarked or not for a high-impact project or item of equipment
Any form of partnership involving your customers and your stakeholders in your commitment (cause-related marketing, round-up at the checkout, sponsorship, etc.)

Spotlight: from 1 to 7 June every year, take part in the Semaine du Muscle (Muscle Week)!

Every year, in the first week of June, the Institute of Myology and AFM-Téléthon run a national event to raise awareness and engage as many people as possible around the importance of muscle for our health. During that week, mobilise your stakeholders through challenges, awareness-raising campaigns and fundraising, and join the movement!

Supporting the future Foundation project

Together, let us build a lasting future for myology

By supporting the strategic project of the Foundation of Myology (“Fondation de Myologie”) over the long term as a Bâtisseur (Builder), you spark pioneering momentum and place your commitment within high-impact philanthropy.

Support the scaling up of a discipline that stands at the crossroads of the public health issues of today and tomorrow
Benefit from a recognition programme tailored to you, before, during and after the launch of the Foundation
Join the Cercle des Bâtisseurs, the Institute’s circle of major donors, and become part of a group of pioneering leaders closely involved in our governance

By becoming a mission-led mutual insurer, we have given new strength to our long-standing values. CARAC’s commitment to the future Foundation of Myology is a perfect illustration of our determination to act where our support can make a real difference: for health, for research and for everyone’s future.

Supporting a project or a piece of equipment

It is today, within the Institute of Myology, that the programmes which will build tomorrow’s Foundation are taking shape. By joining us now, you take part in a founding moment: the moment when the research and innovation priorities of the coming years are being written.

Whether you wish to support a research project or contribute to the acquisition of state-of-the-art equipment, our teams will be glad to share our funding priorities with you and to shape, together, a commitment that matches your ambitions.

For me, supporting muscle research means supporting the ability to move, to grow, to explore the world freely. It also means working to ensure that this strength and this freedom are never treated as secondary.
