Bequests, donations, life insurance

Passing on part of one's heritage is a deeply personal act.
It is also a sustainable way to support a cause that is close to your heart and to contribute, beyond your own life, to scientific progress and the health of future generations.

A private foundation recognized as a public benefit organization since 1898, The Pasteur Institute of Lille is completely exempt from inheritance tax.
Everything you transmit directly benefits health research and prevention.

Giving meaning to its transmission

A member of the Pasteur Institute International Network, the Pasteur Institute of Lille is financially and legally independent.
This independence is a strength: it allows our researchers to act with freedom, rigor and responsiveness in the face of major health challenges.

In 2020, 16 million euros have been allocated to researchincluding 7,5 million euros from the generosity of our donors and testators.

Sending it to the Pasteur Institute of Lille means:

  • to support scientific research of excellence,
  • to encourage concrete progress in prevention and public health,
  • to commit oneself over the long term,
  • to extend the humanist legacy of Louis Pasteur and Albert Calmette.

A personal and confidential support

Because transmission is an intimate process, we attach essential importance to listening, confidentiality and respecting your wishes.

Our team is here to help you with:

  • to answer your questions,
  • to help you clarify your intentions,
  • to guide you towards the solution best suited to your situation,
  • We will support you every step of the way, without any obligation on your part.

"Passing on knowledge is a significant commitment that deserves reflection, composure, and support."
