2025 has been a year of new beginnings at the Alliance Française de Portland. Looking ahead, we invite you to help shape the Alliance’s next chapter—ensuring our classes remain vibrant, our cultural programs continue to flourish, and French language and francophone cultures stay accessible to all. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, the Alliance relies on your generosity: every gift is tax-deductible and makes a lasting impact.
At the Alliance, tuition and event fees cover only part of the cost of our programs. Donations ensure we can:

• Cultural Engagement: Welcomed artists and writers from France and Quebec and hosted Portland’s first Night of Ideas, putting the city on the international stage.
• Community Connections: Strengthened bonds through free gatherings such as game nights, book clubs, and conversation groups.
• Partnerships: built new collaborations with local organizations and businesses, including opera and classical music groups, wineries, restaurants, immersion schools, and civic leaders.
