概要

 In this globally minded and insightful episode of Money to Give, Rick Peck sits down with Domitille Marchal Lemoine, Executive Director of Friends of Fondation de France, to explore the power and potential of cross-border philanthropy. As the organization celebrates its 25th anniversary, Domitille reflects on its pioneering role in connecting U.S.-based donors with impactful nonprofit work in France and beyond, making it easier, safer, and more meaningful to give internationally.

Since its founding in 2000, Friends of Fondation de France has helped raise more than $60 million to support over 200 projects, opening doors for donors to expand their generosity across borders. What makes this work so unique is not just the funding, but the trust and structure behind it. Domitille highlights how navigating international regulations can feel overwhelming for donors, and how their organization simplifies the process by ensuring compliance, transparency, and due diligence, making global giving more accessible and secure.

A central theme throughout the conversation is trust. As Domitille explains, trust is one of the most important drivers behind international giving. With only a small percentage of U.S. charitable contributions going abroad, building confidence in where and how funds are used is essential. By acting as a trusted intermediary, Friends of Fondation de France enables donors to support causes they care about, whether in arts and culture, education, medical research, or humanitarian aid, without the complexity typically associated with cross-border giving.

The conversation also highlights the deep and historic relationship between France and the United States, a bond rooted not only in shared history, but in generosity. From the restoration of Notre-Dame to ongoing collaborations in research and global development, Domitille illustrates how philanthropy can strengthen international ties while addressing global challenges. At its best, cross-border giving becomes more than a transaction, it becomes a bridge between cultures, communities, and shared values.

Ultimately, this episode is a powerful reminder that generosity does not have to stop at geographic boundaries. With the right guidance, partnerships, and intention, donors can create meaningful impact anywhere in the world. Domitille’s work invites us to think bigger, give broader, and trust in the systems that make global generosity possible.
