ASP truly appreciates your support.

As an independent, non-profit organization, ASP relies on fundraising to support the significant resources that go above and beyond what tuition provides. Thanks to the continued engagement of parents, alumni, faculty, staff, and corporate partners, philanthropy has made the new campus possible, brought world-renowned artists and educators to school, and provided state-of-the art equipment and training.

We are fortunate to have a community that is involved and committed to making the ASP experience exceptional for every student. Our generous community supports our school both financially and with gifts of time as volunteers and trusted advisors. Financial support is solicited from our many constituents including parents, alumni, faculty, staff, and friends of the School in the following ways: The Annual Fund, The Adopt a Bench Campaign, and other special projects (please reach out to us if you have a particular project or donation in mind.)

We are particularly grateful to each person listed here for their dedicated support and participation. And giving is not the only way we invite our community to show their support. You can become involved in our community through corporate support for our internships program, student mentoring or volunteering with our PFA.

We are grateful to everyone who supports our school through their generous gifts and donations at any level.

The ASP Annual Fund

ASP's Annual Fund is devoted to ensuring that the school continues to innovate across all aspects of ASP life.

While tuition is budgeted wisely, a gift, however large or small, is a vote of confidence in ASP, allowing the school to maintain excellence and go above and beyond. The ASP Annual Fund is a yearly campaign (running July 1–June 30) that helps ensure the future of our school as a place of academic and personal excellence. This unrestricted fund supports innovation and the spirit of ASP across campus.

Why does the school ask for donations?

We are proud to be a nonprofit organization, where all contributions directly support our mission. Gifts to the ASP Annual Fund have a tremendous impact on every aspect of our school and allow us to go beyond what tuition can provide.

After a successful Capital Campaign to develop our beautiful campus, the ASP Annual Fund was launched in 2019 to continue to support our aspirations and the long-term sustainability of our school. In only four years, donations have already allowed us to redevelop our outdoor sports area, to launch a social entrepreneurship program in our Upper School, and to provide financial assistance to families in our community facing uncertainty.

A well supported Annual Fund will ensure that we can continue to innovate across ASP and be the school of choice for the international community in the Paris region.

ASP is a not-for-profit institution and recognized under the French Association Loi 1901. As such, all gifts to the school are tax deductible by French law. ASP also maintains the ASP Foundation, a US-based 501(c)(3) Foundation, allowing US taxpayers to make tax-deductible gifts.

Why is my participation important?

Every gift – at every level – counts. Sharing a high rate of participation among our parents is encouraging to everyone inside and outside the ASP community. It shows faculty that parents support their work and it inspires other parents and alumni to join a successful initiative. When approaching corporations and foundations for support, it’s also helpful to show strong backing among our current families.

Is my gift tax deductible?

Yes! For those who pay income, wealth, or corporate taxes in France, donations to ASP are tax deductible under French law because of ASP’s status as a not-for-profit institution under French Association Loi 1901.

For US taxpayers, the American School of Paris Foundation is a charitable organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, and all contributions to the Foundation are tax deductible to the fullest extent of the US law.

How will my gift be recognized?

Do donations support a particular program ?

Generally, no.

Gifts to the ASP Annual Fund provide a portion of the school's annual operating revenues and are unrestricted. This allows the Board of Trustees and ASP leadership team to identify and prioritize expenditures in a systematic and thoughtful manner, taking into account all of the school's needs. Each gift to the Annual Fund can be said to benefit every student and everything that makes ASP special.

However, if you would like to make a transformative gift and support a specific program, please contact the Advancement office.

When should I make my donation to ASP?

Thanks to the remarkable generosity of ASP’s alumni, parents, faculty and staff, corporate partners, and friends, the school is at an unprecedented time in our history.

In 2018 we dedicated our first purpose-built campus, and exciting new ideas for teaching and learning are coming to life every day. Through their support, ASP’s donors have invested not only in the school’s programs and facilities, but more importantly in the promise of our students to effect change in the world. We are profoundly grateful.
