The Legacy and Sustainability plan for the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games — 109 GOVERNANCE AND OPERATIONS Chaired by Paris 2024 President Tony Estanguet, the endowment fund is run by a Board of Directors – comprising the same members as the Board of Directors of the organising committee – that sets its strategy, decides on support and agrees on the amounts to be allocated to projects. It is made up of the members of the Paris 2024 Board of Directors. A selection committee – comprising public bodies, representatives from the sporting movement, athletes and qualified figures – helps the Board of Directors carry out its role. The Paris 2024 Impact and Legacy team prepares and implements the strategy of the endowment fund and oversees project support and impact assessment. The Paris 2024 endowment fund works to promote social impact through sport. The winning projects can be led by the Olympic and Paralympic federations on the programme at the Paris 2024 Games, public stakeholders, as well as all stakeholders (athletes, associations and local authorities) of general interest. The endowment fund supports initiatives throughout France (i.e. mainland France and overseas France). Its hallmark is getting stakeholders to work together: • Federations on the Games programme are encouraged to design collective projects involving other general interest stakeholders. • Eligible public stakeholders are encouraged to design projects with the sporting movement and must call on it concerning sports management. • Applicants for the Impact 2024 call for proposals must apply as part of a group with at least one stakeholder from the sporting movement. This methodology aims to strengthen long- term cooperation between the sporting movement and public authorities and maximise the impact and sustainability of the projects supported. IMPACT 2024 CALL FOR PROPOSALS The French National Sports Agency, Paris 2024, the French National Olympic and Sports Committee and the French Paralympic and Sports Committee launched a joint call for proposals in 2020, Impact 2024, for sports stakeholders and associations that harness sport for social innovation. This annual call for proposals aims to: • develop innovative solutions to address new issues; • promote local synergies between local authorities, local clubs and regional sports stakeholders; • help circulate tools and best practices for sustainable action across multiple regions; • report on the impacts and effects on the money invested. The first such call for proposals in 2020 received 1,200 submissions. Around 1,000 projects were selected and will be able to use the Impact 2024 signature in compliance with the rules governing its use. These include five national projects and 50 regional and local projects that will receive a total of €1.7 million in funding.
