Three Americans at Verdun: Keeping the Memory of WWI Alive with Mémorial de Verdun
In the American memory of WWI, the decisive moment is April 1917, marking the date the United States officially entered the war. But the story
Since the onset of the conflict on February 24th, 2022, millions of Ukrainians have been forced to flee their homes, seeking safety from the devastating military offensive. Fondation de France has been at the forefront of relief efforts, committed to providing essential support to those most affected by the war. The mission is to ensure that displaced persons and those living near the front lines receive the basic necessities they need to survive and rebuild their lives.
As of 2025, Fondation de France has allocted 16.5 million to vital aid projects. These efforts have supported 180 projects across Europe, including 23 new projects added in 2024. The allocation of funds reflects the urgency of the situation, with 54.2% of the resources dedicated to Ukraine alone. Other supported countries include Poland, Moldova, Romania, and other European nations such as Slovakia and Hungary. Our projects focus on delivering food, shelter, medical care, and other necessities to those in need, especially in regions close to the conflict zones.
Friends of Fondation de France play a crucial role in these relief efforts. Contributions from the US help support local associations and initiatives on the ground in Ukraine and neighboring countries. These funds are essential in ensuring that aid reaches those who need it most, from displaced families to vulnerable communities living near the front lines. By supporting Fondation de France, US donors can make a significant impact, helping to sustain the lives and well-being of countless individuals affected by this ongoing crisis.
