ABOUT THE FOUNDATION
The Anne Fontaine Foundation was created in 2011 by Anne Fontaine following her unique experience living in the Amazon Forest when she was 17. This time spent in another world changed her vision of life and laid the path for the creation of the Foundation, with its mission of the reforestation and protection of the Mata Atlântica.
The Mata Atlântica, or Brazilian Atlantic rainforest, is a narrow “green” corridor stretching down the coast from North Brazil to Uruguay. Threatened by deforestation, today one of the most endangered forests in the world, with only 7% of its original surface left. It is one of the most important biodiversity reservoirs on Earth hosting 40,000 plant species and 2,200 species of birds, mammals, reptiles and amphibians—5% of the vertebrates on Earth, many of which are endemic.
Forest Day is an annual celebration of our relationship with Mother Nature, while also giving back to the environment – in honor of this day 50% of the ANNE FONTAINE global sales are donated to the ANNE FONTAINE Foundation.
Inspired by our mission of supporting eco-responsibility, Designer Anne Fontaine has created a series of EcoBags that encourage customers to reduce their packaging.
All proceeds from these products go directly to the ANNE FONTAINE Foundation. These unique products are produced in compliance with environmental standards.
