AZICKIA

What AZICKIA does

AZICKIA is a French family endowment fund (fonds de dotation) founded in 2019 by Anaelle Azoulay and her two sisters, headquartered at 5 rue de Montmorency, 92100 Boulogne Billancourt, France, and registered under INSEE number 879 242 857 00016. The organization operates as a non-profit legal structure that raises donations from contributors and redistributes them as grants to NGOs and non-profit organizations carrying out social impact projects in France and internationally. Since 2025, the fund has refocused its funding priorities exclusively on initiatives supporting women and children in vulnerable situations worldwide.

The fund operates an annual call-for-projects pipeline in which NGOs submit proposals through an online form on its website. Projects are selected based on alignment with organizational values, impact, replicability, and long-term sustainability. Grant sizes typically range from €2,500 to €7,000 per project, distributed over multiple years to enable long-term partnerships. Since inception, AZICKIA has supported 20 projects representing more than €175,000 in cumulative donations distributed. The geographic footprint spans France and roughly 14 international markets including Colombia, Brazil, Nepal, Cambodia, Philippines, Ghana, Senegal, DRC, Vietnam, Myanmar, Laos, Madagascar, Afghanistan, and Martinique. Eligibility is restricted to NGOs with head offices in EU Member States, and projects with political or religious affiliations are excluded.

In 2023, AZICKIA launched ILA Magazine (Inspire-Learn-Act) as an online and print editorial arm, producing over 50 socially conscious articles. In 2025, the organization discontinued the magazine to refocus resources on direct project financing. AZICKIA does not develop software products, sell commercial services, or maintain proprietary technology; its core activity is philanthropic capital allocation. Revenue model is donations-based; there is no pricing, ARR, or commercial revenue stream.
