our mission

French Heritage Society is an American nonprofit organization with ten chapters in the U.S. and one in France. Its central mission is to ensure that the treasures of our shared French architectural and cultural heritage survive in order to inspire future generations. Over the past 38 years, FHS has given over 600 restoration grants to properties throughout France and in the U.S. and selected and supported more than 500 students from prestigious universities who have crossed the Atlantic for internships at esteemed institutions. Its emergency Notre-Dame Restoration Fund has raised nearly $2.6 million to date.

“I have concrete support and nonstop encouragement to chase my dreams. I wish every high school student could have what we have.”
