How Total Corporate Foundation funds hundreds of projects while cutting manual work
Total Corporate Foundation
The Total Corporate Foundation is the philanthropic arm of TotalEnergies, one of the world's largest energy companies. The Foundation funds hundreds of new projects every year across its global operations — supporting initiatives in education, culture, health, social development, and environmental protection in the communities where TotalEnergies operates. With such a significant volume of projects funded annually, the Foundation needed a platform that could dramatically reduce manual workload while maintaining the rigour and transparency required for large-scale corporate philanthropy.

Hundreds of new projects per year — and an overwhelming manual workload
The sheer scale of the Foundation's annual grant activity — with hundreds of new projects funded every year — made manual processes completely unsustainable. The team needed to automate the repetitive administrative tasks that were consuming significant time and resources, freeing the team to focus on impact rather than paperwork.
- Hundreds of new projects funded every year — manual management completely unscalable
- Repetitive administrative tasks consuming team time that should be directed to impact
- Global operations requiring a platform that could scale across geographies consistently
- Transparency and reporting requirements demanding complete project traceability
