Foundations

The Society for the Prevention of Depression

This foundation supports research and travel grants to its' conferences held four times a year for psychiatrists and other health service professionals who treat depression. Patients are not allowed to attend the meetings as case histories are discussed in order to improve treatment. The foundation is being incorporated under the Institut de France.

The King's Table or Table du Roi

The King's Table supports Catholic Charities of the monastic tradition who feed, provide shelter, education or medical treatment for the disadvantaged in the Francophone world. Any Catholic Charity supporting such works can apply for funding. Students and other private groups are encouraged to apply for funding to recycle the food left after French markets for hospices and the homeless in major urban centers. Farmers and hunters are encouraged to donate game and unused or unsold crops to centers for feeding the poor by participating in a partial payment program from the foundation's funds. As well as restoring and preserving the ancient traditions of France, the King's Table supports research for the improvement of food preservation and nutrition.

Society for the Preservation of French Heritage

The object of this society is to help the families which helped create French history preserve the history and remain in their historical homes. To this end, the society will fund projects for museums and accomodation which allow the historical families of France to remain in their homes and use these homes to remind visitors of this history. A variety of devices will be offered to fund this project including renovations and payment of taxes and other significant elements of upkeep and maintenance.

These charities are being incorporated under the Institut de France.
