The Foundation’s main underwriting efforts support two types of programs:
Humanitarian
CMA CGM’s Corporate Foundation seeks to promote the well-being of children, particularly children with disabilities or lengthy illnesses. Its dedication to children’s issues includes support of NGOs such as Handicap International and the International Red Cross. The Foundation is currently seeking a noteworthy or innovative long-term project in this area.
Cultural
CMA CGM’s Corporate Foundation supports many artistic activities. The Foundation has also acquired a collection of contemporary art.
Foundation Prize
In 2007, the annual CMA CGM Company Foundation Prize was created to honour an outstanding personality.
In that first year it was presented to N+N Corsino (Nicole and Norbert Corsino), who are both choreographers and researchers interested in new technologies.

In 2008, the Foundation awarded the prize to two humanitarian associations, La Bourguette and La Voix de la Femme Libanaise (voice of Lebanese women) both of which focus their activities on supporting children:
La Bourguette in Pertuis, France, aims to encourage and develop the personality of children suffering with autism.
