French Heritage Society (FHS) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit American organization in operation since 1982 whose mission is to protect the French architectural and cultural legacy both in France and the United States. Over the past 38 years, our generous members and patrons have helped us ensure that these treasures survive to inspire future generations by supporting the three key areas of our mission - Preservation, Education and Cultivation of French-American Friendship.Preservation:FHS raises funds to support the preservation of culturally and historically significant French architecture in France and the U.S. To date, FHS has awarded $13 million (which results in a total of $26 million being made available due to our required matching funds condition) to nearly 600 grants to châteaux, landmarks and monuments. FHS also creates special funds for emergency restoration efforts, which have provided critical support following the fire at Notre-Dame in Paris and Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. Education:Each year, FHS selects and sends around 35 students from prestigious universities in France and the U.S. across the Atlantic for internships at esteemed organizations. Since the program's inception, over 500 students have benefited from these opportunities. French-American Friendship: FHS's network includes 10 chapters across the U.S. and one in Paris and collectively, they organize over 50 events each year to raise local awareness about and funds for FHS's mission. In addition, the FHS community comes together for annual fundraising galas in New York, Palm Beach and Paris. FHS is also known for the specially curated trips to France that it offers its members every year.
