If you have considered giving to a French or international charity in the past, you may have been discouraged after learning of the extra costs and added paperwork that accompany overseas donations. Furthermore, its often difficult to find information about an international recipient, their reputation and their credentials. Giving through Friends of Fondation de France is the simpler and less costly option. When you give to Friends of Fondation de France, you receive the same tax benefits that you would when giving to any other 501(c)(3) organization in the United States. Each charitable project is carefully approved by our Board of Directors to ensure legitimacy and effectiveness.

 95% of your gift goes directly to project support. To subsidize administrative expenses, Friends of Fondation de France withholds 5% on the donations it receives up to $300,000. No further withholding is applied to gifts greater than $300,000.
