The Alliance Française of Calgary is a charitable and non-profit organization that self-funds 95% of its operations. This is why your support is incredibly vital to us. Every donation we receive goes towards enhancing our library and cultural programming, ensuring that we can continue to offer exceptional experiences to our community.

Moreover, we are pleased to issue a donation receipt for tax-credit purposes for any donation over $50. In Alberta, donations made to registered charitable organizations can qualify for a tax credit, which can help reduce the amount of income tax you owe. By donating to your favourite charity, you may receive as much as 49% of the amount you donated back at tax time. That could mean a $494 tax credit on a total of $1000 donated (more info on Canadahelps).
