The foundation's purpose is to provide financial support to the entities that the late François-Frédéric Petitmaître du Puget intended to favor according to his will dated April 1, 1859, and according to the annex dated November 1, 1858, to this will, namely, to date, FONDATION PETITMAITRE - welcome houses (CHE-101.038.365) and the library of Yverdon-les-Bains. This financial support will be provided to other entities pursuing the same goals if one and/or the other of these two entities were to disappear. In accordance with the purpose pursued, the foundation carries out its activities in Yverdon-les-Bains. The foundation does not have a profitable purpose.
