Fondation Simafri
Fondation Simafri gives charities a professional website, fully taken care of. We create it, host it, secure it and keep it up to date. You carry your mission, we carry the technology. The website belongs to your charity.
Our commitment
My name is Simon. I am a French-Portuguese digital entrepreneur and an artificial intelligence expert. As a Christian, helping my neighbour is a sacred calling for me. So I wanted my craft to serve outside paid work as well: to offer our services to charities working for the common good, to help those who help others.
That is how Fondation Simafri was born. It takes care of the creation, hosting, security and updates of its beneficiaries' websites, 100% free of charge, with the same teams that serve our paying clients.

Many charities give up on having a real website: no budget, no one to look after it, the fear of ending up with a website that breaks down or grows old alone. Fondation Simafri exists to lift that obstacle. We give eligible charities a free website, but above all a fully managed one: created, hosted, secured and maintained by our teams, while you devote yourself to your mission.
The usual "free" solutions leave you alone with the design, the updates, the security and the outages. Here it is the opposite: the Foundation takes care of the entire technical side, from the domain name to maintenance. Your charity gets a professional online presence, at no cost and with no technical burden, with someone to talk to. We compared fifteen free website services for charities: what each one takes on, and what is left to do.
The programme is aimed at legally registered charities carrying a cause of general interest: inclusion, health, education, disability, social action, culture or environment. A single point of contact within the charity follows the project with us, and the website is built on the charity's own domain name. The charity's work has been visible online for at least a year.
As for our customers, every charity website is built following search engine optimisation (SEO) best practices and receives structured markup that helps artificial intelligence systems present your charity accurately. Your cause gains visibility, right where people are searching.
What we build stays yours. The website is built on your charity's domain name, which you keep: the Foundation hosts it, secures it and keeps it up to date, but you are never locked in to a provider.
Fondation Simafri also offers a free VPS to open source projects, managed for as long as the project lives.
Yes. For eligible charities, Fondation Simafri covers the creation, hosting, security and management of the website, free of charge. The website belongs to the charity.
