Supporting culture,

art and good causes

From the outset, LVMH wanted to make sure that its business

success paved the way for an ambitious corporate philanthropy

policy in support of the arts and heritage, young people

and humanitarian, social and scientific causes. LVMH and its Maisons

work for the common good both in France and worldwide, bringing

together artists, intellectuals and scientists to protect and

enhance tangible and intangible heritage as a universal shared asset.

Heritage

LVMH provides support for preserving places and

monuments of major significance from a heritage per-

spective, as well as support for enriching the collections

of major cultural institutions with the goal of making

them accessible to the greatest number of people.

Therefore, LVMH immediately wanted to contribute

to the outpouring of generosity that took place only

hours after the tragic fire that ravaged Notre-Dame

Cathedral, an important spiritual site and an icon of

French history. Through the Donors’ Committee,

LVMH supported the renovation effort.

To support efforts to inform the widest possible audi-

ence about the project, LVMH provided special assis-

tance via Connaissance des Arts for the production of

the biannual publication La Fabrique de Notre-Dame.

Since its founding, LVMH has on numerous occasions

provided full or partial funding to help French museums

purchase national treasures. In 2024, the Group was

the main donor for the Louvre Museum’s acquisition of

Jean Siméon Chardin’s Basket of Strawberries. Without

this crucial contribution, the masterpiece would have

left France for a major international museum.

The arts and access to culture

LVMH has been a loyal patron of the Nuit Blanche Paris

nighttime arts festival since 2006, supporting the arts

scene and giving center stage to contemporary artists

for a celebration open to all. In 2024, this major cultural

event put French overseas territories in the spotlight.

On the roster curated by Claire Tancons, LVMH was

delighted to find two artists with whom existing ties

had already been forged: Raphaël Barontini, invited by

LVMH Métiers d’Art as an artist in residence in 2021,

and Tabita Rezaire, whose work will be on display at

the Fondation Louis Vuitton in June 2025 as part of

the Open Space program, which grants creative carte

blanche to artists.

LVMH also provided backing for the Fondation du

Collège de France’s initiative Agir pour l’éducation

(Acting for education). The program is organized into

two sections: on the one hand, an ambitious cycle of

conferences on learning and its methods, open to the

public, and on the other, research projects and educa-

tional actions led by Collège de France professors.

Lastly, LVMH lent its support to the Rothko Chapel, in

Houston, Texas, as well as to the MoMA in New York

and the SMK in Copenhagen, helping them stage exhi-

bitions of international significance.

Support for young talent

One of the Group’s major commitments is to identify

and help talented people at the start of their careers.

The LVMH Prize aims to support young fashion

designers in France and around the world. In the

musical sphere, the LVMH group loans its sublime

Stradivarius violins and cellos to promising virtuosos

such as Daniel Lozakovich.

Medical research and social causes

LVMH is actively involved in funding scientific research

programs in France and around the world and lends

its support to a number of good causes. In 2024,

LVMH provided funds for the purchase of new equip-

ment (completing a 3-year program) at the American

Hospital in Paris. It also provided support to the

Fondation Claude Pompidou, the Association

Fraternité Universelle in Haiti and the Robin Hood

Foundation in New York.
