Friends of Fondation de France is committed to rigorous assessment, transparency, and sustained impact

Donors can rest assured that their donations go to reliable, carefully approved charitable projects. Our on-staff development experts assure that each charitable project meets our standards for responsible management and effective programs.

 

How we work

Friends of Fondation de France vets and monitors all projects using a 4-step process, ensuring that the programs are secure and reliable.

 

Step 1 : the applying nonprofit prepares an application file, with our support, and submits it for instruction and validation by Fondation de France and Friends of Fondation de France. A due diligence is conducted, based on documents provided by the nonprofit: we need to make sure that the organization is trustworthy and secure.

Step 2 : after the applying project is approved by our board, US based donors can make their gifts through Friends of Fondation de France, dedicating it to the organization.

Step 3 : Friends of Fondation de France wires the funds to Fondation de France, and Fondation de France transfers them to the organization, net of transaction costs.

Step 4 : one year after receiving the funds, the organization must provide Friends of Fondation de France with a report on the use of funds.
