The Cuomo Foundation and the Monaco Red Cross continue their long-standing partnership, especially when it comes to sponsoring scholarships for deserving young people.
Since 2002, the Cuomo Foundation has supported the Monaco Red Cross scholarship programme, which has proven to have a positive impact. As a result, the Foundation has increased its yearly contributions significantly. In fact the budget has multiplied by 6.35.
Several factors have led to this, such as a greater appreciation of those in dire need, more visibility, and easier access to support resources within the Principality.
This increase in support is a timely response to the region’s worsening socioeconomic condition.
“I would like to warmly thank you for the scholarship of 2,000 euros that was granted to me through the Monaco Red Cross for my university studies at University College London (UCL). I am currently studying Security and Crime Sciences and am in my first year. I love my studies and appreciate the opportunity to pursue them and the conditions under which I can accomplish them.”

Since 2009, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has granted scholarships to PhD candidates from underdeveloped nations, aimed at supporting research that furthers the comprehension of the scientific foundations of climate change risks, their potential ramifications, and the means to adapt or contain them.
The IPCC Scholarship Programme Awards are granted every 2 years and are made possible through the contributions of its funding partners.
The Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation became a funding partner in 2011 and the Cuomo Foundation became party to the agreement between The Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation and the IPCC in 2013.
The Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation, the Cuomo Foundation and the AXA Research Fund supported the Sixth Round of Awards which were made in 2021 for 2021-2023 programme.
Over the years, the Foundation’s engagement and relationship with the IPCC award students has developed, and a number of these accomplished PhD graduates have subsequently successfully applied directly to the Cuomo Foundation for funding to continue their fields of climate change research.

The 10th Sainte Dévote Rugby tournament was held in May 2022, after a 2-year hiatus due to the pandemic. This annual event promotes the idea of ‘Rugby for All’ and was established in 2009 to link the town of Lucciana in Corsica with the Principality as they shared the patron saint of Sainte Dévote.
Young players under 12 years old from 14 countries including Mauritius, Ireland, Belgium, the United Arab Emirates, Morocco, Georgia, and Ecuador came together in Monaco to play the game and celebrate the virtues it seeks to uphold: unity, integrity, teamwork, and respect.
The competition particularly emphasised the importance of inclusivity for persons of all abilities and included accessible activities designed for young people with disabilities. Other activities offered young children ages 2 to 6 years old the chance to gain familiarity with the sport.

The Cuomo Foundation contributed to its construction in 2012 and has supported the organization’s operation ever since. The venture was expanded in 2018 with the building of a new cottage called «La Maison des Copains « also with funding from the Foundation. The organization faced a very high cancellation rate during the Covid pandemic in 2020 and 2021 and the Foundation’s financial support during this difficult period was essential in achieving financial stability.
In 2022, a new building project was announced aimed at construction of additional apartments for long-term residential stays. The Cuomo Foundation was able to help support this new project by successfully bidding for two paintings auctioned at the Monaco Disease Power Gala auction event.

“Today, more than ever, social media gives the impression that communication is easy. But each of us can still feel more isolated than ever, a feeling shared by people in both developed and developing countries. We understand that the ambitions of “Entreparents“ are to assist and support people in better communicating with one another.”
- Maria Elena Cuomo- Monaco, October, 2022
“Entreparents” is a new parenting support concept that aims to connect new and future parents in the Principality and to assist them with practical solutions, answers to questions, and highlight available services.
The original concept for the mobile App was devised by 4 young mothers in response to the problems they had identified of many other new parents feeling isolated, unsupported, and ill-informed.
The integration of digital technology and education is one of the difficulties confronting today’s society, which is why the Cuomo Foundation chose to support this initiative by 4 young female entrepreneurs. Several working meetings were conducted in 2022 to review the project’s status and discuss the communication strategies used to promote “Entreparents”. Funded by the Government of Monaco, the Cuomo Foundation and Monaco Telecom, and developed by Carlo Technologies the “Entreparents” will launch in 2023.
In addition, a similar partnership with the Princess Grace Hospital Centre

In 2022, the bank approached the Cuomo Foundation to offer to support some of the actions of the Foundation. A partnership agreement was signed on Dec 22,2022 between CFM Indosuez and the Cuomo Foundation to benefit the Zeine Association, a grassroots organization that promotes social projects for agricultural communities in Gorom-Gorom, Burkino Faso.
The Cuomo Foundation has been a partner of the Zeine Association since 2010 and supports many critical local projects including the drilling and maintenance of boreholes creating accessible and safe drinking water.
A new initiative to be managed by the Zeine Association and funded through the Cuomo Foundation by the CFM Indosuez will see the rehabilitation of 8 safe drinking water wells and the purchase and distribution of goats to 70 vulnerable families in the Gorom-Gorom region.
The Institute of Oceanography was founded by Prince Albert I of Monaco in 1906, the great-great-grandfather of the current honorary president H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco.
The Institute is the research body of the Oceanographic Museum of Monaco and the House of the Oceans in Paris and is involved in numerous environmental projects on the national and international scene. Importantly, it contributes to the Principality’s own commitment to protecting the ocean and to disseminating the science of Oceanography to the public through communication, educational programmes, outreach projects, exhibitions, and symposiums.
In 2022, the Cuomo Foundation committed to supporting the Institute’s activities and aims, which play such an important educational role in conserving the marine environment and its inhabitants for the future.
