Genève
pour le Bien Commun

No, the entrance is free. When you register, a pledge of donation is requested. It is a moral commitment between you and you. Every donation counts!

Each association has 4 minutes to convince the audience of donors; women and men keen to support projects that have a positive impact on society. After each pitch, an auctioneer asks the public to make a donation*. Donations ranging from 5000 CHF to 100 CHF are requested, every donation counts! Then, project leaders, volunteers and donors are welcomed at a cocktail party to meet and discuss around stands dedicated to the associations presented. *tax-deductible donations

For each edition of La Nuit du Bien Commun, a call for projects is launched over a given period. You can access it by going to the next page. You will then have to choose the city for which you wish to respond to the call for projects, check that you meet the criteria and then complete your application file if the call for projects is open. The file must allow us to understand your project, your beneficiaries and the impact of your action, through synthetic and precise answers. You will also be asked for supporting documents.

La Nuit du Bien Commun is an event supported by the LA NUIT DU BIEN COMMUN endowment fund and organized pro-bono by the company Obole. Genève pour le Bien Commun was born following a strong request from the Paris support committee as well as many major patrons and philanthropists wishing to see the concept of La Nuit du Bien Commun expand beyond Paris and particularly in Geneva. We are indeed convinced that generosity is not limited to Parisians, and that many associations deserve to be known and supported throughout France and internationally!

Each city that has organized Nuit du Bien Commun event launches a call for projects to select the structures that will be presented on stage during its event.

Among the files submitted during the call for projects, around twenty projects will be invited to a Grand Oral in front of a jury made up of business leaders, partners, media and members of the evening's support committee.

The Grand Oral takes place in the same format as the evening: 4 minutes to convince the jury!
After deliberation, the associations that are the most relevant in terms of impact, innovation, social interest and sustainability will be selected.

Obole's teams take charge of the production of all city events pour le Bien Commun. The organization costs of the event are borne by sponsors and partners.

La Nuit du Bien Commun was co-founded in 2017 in Paris by Stanislas Billot de Lochner, Pierre-Edouard Stérin and Thibault Farrenq. Their intuition is that thanks to digital technology, donating has become easy. But how to get in touch and support those, many, who work for the common good? Initiatives at the service of the common good are indeed numerous, but there was no place, a rendezvous, allowing projects and donors to meet. It is in this spirit that La Nuit du Bien Commun was born and that we are carrying out the image essay in the cities for the Common Good.

La Nuit du Bien Commun is a philanthropic, educational, social, humanitarian and family endowment fund.

La Nuit du Bien Commun pursues a non-profit activity with the sole objective of raising funds from companies and individuals for associations and NGOs working for the common good and/or the general interest.

Vital for the well-being and fulfillment of everyone in society, the Common Good defines a simple, essential reality: it is a service to society, which belongs to all of us without distinction and which connects us to each other.
The common good of all is universal, free and accessible to everyone, primarily to the most deprived. It therefore concerns food, housing, work, equality, education, as well as the environment, access to healthcare, religion and culture.
Beyond the interest of the person there is the interest of the greatest number (country/continent/species), and it is still beyond that that we see the Common Good emerging.
