Created in 2007, the Malongo Foundation is managed by coffee and culture specialists. The Foundation oversees initiatives in the fields of education, solidarity and culture, both in France and abroad.

In France, the Malongo Foundation encourages, for example, the protection and highlighting of tangible and intangible coffee-related heritage. It aims to highlight the creativity and innovation of young French designers and architects by coordinating the Malongo Design  Contest. The Malongo Foundation also finances the Young Coffee Professional Contest organised by the Malongo Training department in partnership with the National Education authority.

Internationally, the Malongo Foundation launches and organises programs combining solidarity and culture. These projects may relate to training or education, but the targets remain the same: ensure greater independence for growers and assist them in diversifying their sources of income. In Mexico, for example, a fair eco-tourism site, managed directly by the growers, was prepared and created with the assistance of the Foundation. This camp sets one initial example in this field which could subsequently be extended to other locations, with an intrinsic link to coffee growing.

In addition, the Malongo Foundation is currently considering major programs to boost coffee plantations in regions around the globe with unique historical, social and cultural particularities.

Finally, the Malongo Foundation is currently one of the mandatory partners of cultural, scientific and technological institutions promoting the distribution of tangible and intangible coffee-related heritage. Malongo can provide articles from its collection and complete company knowledge and resources on coffee for these institutions via the Foundation.
