Helping you raise funds abroad

Drawing on its experience and unique expertise and thanks to its international network and local partners, Fondation de France contributes to the development of increasingly agile and innovative cross-border philanthropy. To support all those wishing to take action, it is now the gateway for all donors based abroad who want to support public-interest projects in France.

Cross-border philanthropy allows:

Public interest players (foundations, associations, cultural, scientific or higher education institutions) to diversify their international fundraising strategies and implement concrete action plans. To avoid the administrative and legal burden of setting up a local structure, Fondation de France offers these players tools to mobilise donors seamlessly and securely.
Donors living abroad to make donations to support charitable organisations in France, easily and with complete confidence. They will benefit from the tax deductions applicable in the country where they are based and, if they wish, can receive personalised advice on how to direct their donation towards the causes that are close to their hearts.

The benefits of joining Cross-border philanthropy:

Easy fundraising (no need to set up a local structure, administrative costs covered, issuing of tax receipts, transfer of donations).
No fixed fees: the amount of the fees depends on the amount raised and the percentage decreases rapidly.
Networking with other organisations in your field (Cercle de la collecte internationale: training courses, annual meeting, etc.).
