As we close our 25th anniversary year, we are proud to share a snapshot of the generosity that U.S. donors extended to our projects this year. This milestone year was marked by meaningful impact made possible by a community of donors committed to advancing the common good for all.
In 2025, Friends of Fondation de France facilitated over $10.7 million in charitable gifts supporting nonprofit projects benefitting people in France and around the world. This accounts for an 18% increase from last year, a testament to the dedication of U.S. donors to extending generosity across borders. These contributions, large and small, strengthened programs across scientific research, education, arts and culture, environmental resilience, and more.
These contributions, large and small, strengthened programs across all areas of philanthropy.
2025 saw remarkable generosity for arts and culture, health, academic and scientific research, and education in particular, making up the four leading causes supported this year. Thanks to U.S. donors, these gifts enable our partners to take creative excellence to new heights, create new pathways for medical research and patient care, extend the boundaries of human knowledge, expand access to education, and much more.
A shared journey, 25 years in the making
This final Anniversary RendezVous of our anniversary year is not just a look back at numbers. It is a celebration of the relationships, trust, and shared purpose that have defined French-American philanthropy for 25 years.
As we step into 2026, a year marked by the 250th anniversary of U.S. Independence and the French support that made it possible, we remain committed to strengthening the connection between U.S. donors and the remarkable French organizations shaping the future across all philanthropic sectors. Thank you for making this work possible, and for 25 years of generosity.
