Fin d’Année: Celebrate and Give

WHY YOUR SUPPORT MATTERS

At the Alliance, tuition and event fees cover only part of the cost of our programs. Donations ensure we can:

• Offer small, top-quality French classes with groups of 4–12 students.
• Program affordable, enriching cultural events.
• Retain and empower our dedicated teachers and staff.
• Promote access to French language and francophone cultures for everyone.
