Become a patron

Since 2008, the Rmn-Grand Palais has not been eligible for any public funding over and above the support granted by the state for the restoration of the historic monument (glass roofs, facades). The Grand Palais funds its own development programme through its own resources and patronage.

By becoming an exclusive patron of the Grand Palais, you will be supporting a symbol of French heritage and making a commitment to a monument that traversed the twentieth century and is now going forward into the future. By making a significant contribution to a project to restore or embellish the building, exclusive patrons share the core values of the Grand Palais: excellence and style.

It is important for the Grand Palais to present a project that is attractive to each potential patron, and in line with the company's values and know-how. The aim is to help to enhance the company's image for its external communication, and also to help it to develop internal communication by uniting its workforce around a strong consensual project.

Whether in skills, kind or funds, donations will go to:
-    the completion of the restoration of the building and participation in its indoor development
-    organising events in the Grand Palais and strengthening its appeal as a showcase for contemporary creativity and innovation
-    increasing its international stature

The Grand Palais undertakes to ensure that exclusive patrons enjoy tailored and original advantages that will be decided and developed jointly.

There are three levels of exclusive patronage
Mécène d'honneur         From 1 million euros
Très grand mécène        Above 700,000 euros
Grand mécène             From 10,000 to 700,000 euros
