Become a Friend of Festival d’Avignon by way of Friends of Fondation de France

The Festival d’Avignon is now part of the Friends of Fondation de France, a trusted network that enables U.S.-based donors to support leading French nonprofit initiatives while benefiting from U.S. tax advantages.

Thanks to this partnership, American donors can make tax-deductible contributions in the United States in support of the Festival d’Avignon. Donations are made to Friends of Fondation de France, a U.S. 501(c)(3) public charity, and are eligible for income tax deductions to the extent allowed by U.S. law.

This mechanism provides a simple, secure, and tax-efficient way to support the Festival’s mission—helping to sustain artistic creation, foster international dialogue, and expand access to culture.

By giving through Friends of Fondation de France, U.S. donors can combine meaningful cultural impact with the benefits of local philanthropy.
