If you have considered giving to a French or an international charity in the past, you may have been discouraged after learning of the extra costs and added paperwork that accompany overseas donations. Furthermore, it’s 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.
