Its priority areas include training pharmaceutical professionals, access to quality care, the fight against sickle-cell disease, dermatology, and e-health development. The foundation holds 86% of the capital of Groupe Pierre Fabre, making it the largest shareholder foundation in France, and it operates from the Domaine d'En Doyse, the personal property and legacy of Pierre Fabre.

The Fondation Pierre Fabre was born in 1999 and was recognized as being of public utility that same year. Its founder, Pierre Fabre, transferred ownership of Groupe Pierre Fabre to the foundation, enabling it to pursue its public-utility mission over the long term through the financial contributions of the group it holds. In 2013 the foundation came to hold 86% of the capital of Groupe Pierre Fabre, and in 2014 it moved to the Domaine d'En Doyse, Pierre Fabre's personal property and legacy. Over the years it developed priority areas including training of pharmaceutical professionals (since 2001), access to quality care (since 2002), the fight against sickle-cell disease (since 2006), dermatology (since 2015), and e-health (since 2016). Key milestones include support for the Khaldieh dispensary in Lebanon (2002), inauguration of the Faculty of Pharmacy in Phnom Penh, Cambodia (2003), creation of the Wassadou medical house in Senegal (2005), rehabilitation of the Faculty of Pharmacy in Vientiane, Laos (2006), the Cotonou Appeal against counterfeit medicines (2009), opening of the Research and Fight against Sickle-Cell Disease Centre in Bamako, Mali (2010), a master's-level pharmaceutical sciences training programme for Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam (2012), first African Teledermatology Conference in Bamako (2017), and creation of the Observatory of E-health in the Global South (2016).
