Investing in Knowledge to Address Tomorrow’s Challenges

TSE brings together a School and a Foundation dedicated to a shared vision: establishing Toulouse as one of the world's leading centers for research and education in economics and quantitative social sciences. Sustaining this excellence and directing it toward the defining challenges of our century - climate, geopolitics, technology, and health - requires dedicated resources, strategic partnerships, and an engaged community.

Becoming a Donor

For over 40 years, philanthropy has driven TSE’s development. Thanks to the support of our donors - corporations, foundations, and individuals - TSE has built academic excellence, attracted world-class researchers, funded doctoral programs, expanded its global reach, and educated future economists and decision-makers with full intellectual independence.

Both organizations and individual donors can support TSE based on their goals and commitment levels through two complementary campaigns:

Building Bridges 

Designed for corporations and major donors seeking to provide structured, long-term support through endowed gifts that consolidate the Foundation's financial stability over time.
Examples of support:

  • Research chairs

  • Strategic partnerships

  • Bequests and planned giving

  • Academic Excellence Programs

Developing Partnered Research
