An initiative of the Cultural Services of the French Embassy in partnership with the Albertine Foundation, the French Dual Language Fund aims to expand and strengthen existing French dual language education programs throughout the country, and support the launch of new programs.
Albertine Foundation is an American nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting French-American relations through innovative cultural and educational projects.
In partnership with the Cultural Services of the French Embassy in the United States, the Albertine Foundation promotes artistic, literary and educational exchange and collaboration between creative professionals from both countries.
Under the high auspices of President Emmanuel Macron of the Republic of France, the Cultural Services of the French Embassy and FACE Foundation (now Albertine Foundation) inaugurated the French Dual Language Fund on September 20, 2017 at an event co-hosted by The Graduate Center of the City University of New York.
