There is one-time set-up cost of $1,000. In addition, and to subsidize administrative expenses, Friends of Fondation de France withholds a digressive percentage on the donation it receives. Learn more about how we work, by downloading our one-page presentation. We also invite you to contact us (in French or English) if you want more details. 

All documents can be prepared in French or in English.

Funds are disbursed monthly. Organizations don’t need to track incoming donations and request payments.

Friends of Fondation de France works closely with grantee partners to facilitate cross-border giving. It does not seek funds on behalf of nonprofits, but promotes itself directly to donors and donor advisors in the US who wish to support French and European charities.

To ensure funds have been used in compliance with the charitable purpose of the program, an annual report must be submitted within one year of distribution of funds.
