The Foundation works to build lasting, practical working ties between France and the United States and to advance solutions to problems of shared concern. Through our work, we seek to perpetuate more than two centuries of shared ideals and friendship to meet the challenges of the 21st century together. Programmatic initiatives include: Young Leaders Program: The Young Leaders program convenes a highly selective group of French and American professionals whose common link is their demonstrated leadership and passion for forging bonds in a globalized world. Young Leaders, hailing from a diverse array of sectors, come together to engage in pertinent dialogue around issues of common concern on both sides of the Atlantic. The program is grounded in the belief that informed dialogue across cultures will lead to progress in solving the most pressing issues of our time. Transatlantic Forum: The Transatlantic Forum is an invitation-only membership group that brings together established French and American professionals for in-depth conversations on contemporary issues of concern on both sides of the Atlantic. The program aims to provide a deeper understanding of the forces shaping American and French societies in a warm, convivial atmosphere that fosters stimulating conversations and lasting friendships. Our goal is to build a community that is informed, open-minded and committed to engaging personally on issues of critical import to the U.S. France relationship. Our members cross nationalities and professional fields: government, media, non-profit, academia, business, law, finance, the arts, and more. In general, half are American and half French. Forum members share a passion for debate and a desire to engage across cultures to help build a more peaceful and unified world. Translation Prize: Since 1986, the French-American Foundation has awarded an annual prize for the best translation from French to English in both fiction and nonfiction. The Translation Prize is a valuable element of the intellectual and cultural exchange between France and the United States. Its purpose is to promote French literature in the United States and to provide translators and their craft with greater visibility among publishers and readers. Cyber Security: The Foundation has a longstanding commitment to advancing dialogue on cyber security-related topics of mutual concern to France and the United States. The Cyber Security Program comprises the annual Cyber Security Conference and relevant events in our other program initiatives that assemble leaders in military, government, industry, and academia to examine emerging cyber security challenges in a transatlantic context. Policy Breakfasts: The Foundations Policy Breakfasts bring together leaders from various fields to discuss topics of economic, social, and political importance with a guest of honor. Breakfasts welcome approximately 20 guests, comprised of high-level professionals, government experts, philanthropists, and Young Leaders of the Foundation. Guest speakers share their views on specific topics, followed by questions and remarks from the audience. 1010134 true true false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true false false false false false false false true false false false true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 17 0 true 6 true false false false false false true true false false false false false false X 48 48 false false false false false false false true true false false false true true true true true true true false NY X Caroline Naralasetty 2122217209 28 West 44th Street STE 912 New York NY 10036 Caroline Naralasetty President 40.00 0.00 X 230270 0 2657 Elizabeth McGehee Director of Programs 40.00 0.00 X 104913 0 14915 Jennifer Walden VP of Advancement 40.00 0.00 X 29012 0 0 Gary Cole Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Chloe Demrovsky Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jean-Yves Fillion Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Yves-Andre Istel Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Roy Kabla Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Francois Pages Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ina Popova Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Douglas Price Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Clyde Rankin III Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Cynthia Smith Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Antonio Weiss Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Gina Adams Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Carol Bellamy Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 George Brokaw Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Anne Dias Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Charles Ferguson Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 James Finkel Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Emma Frelinghuysen Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Fatima Hadj Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Scott Handler Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 William Hearst III Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Maya Henry Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Adam Hodge Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Reuben Jeffery III Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Andrew Klaber Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mia de Kuijper Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Clare OBrien Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Frederic Roze Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Melissa Sawyer Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Siddhartha Shukla Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Craig Stapleton Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 John Thain Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 David Thoms Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Robert Treuhold Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Elizabeth Askren Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kristen Bartok Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Geoffrey Chepiga Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Raymond McGuire Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Richard Duke Buchan III Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Vivien de Gunzburg Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Frances Devlin Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jeanne Phillips Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sean Ward Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Andra Zeppelin Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jacques Aschenbroich Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jayee Koffey Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Allan Chapin Chairman Emeritus 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Edward Wallace Chairman 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 364195 0 17572 2 false true false 556642 556642 45989 45989 955433 508628 446805 446805 446805 906488 103787 802701 802701 Other Income 900099 20700 20700 20700 1872837 20700 0 1295495 20000 20000 364195 231396 42282 90517 253060 160785 29378 62897 102 66 12 24 66307 42436 7957 15914 47915 30666 5750 11499 50021 25010 25011 10950 10950 85608 55950 29658 25390 17366 6961 1063 13300 5320 5320 2660 127456 101965 19118 6373 78741 75285 210 3246 268607 237082 31525 1197 957 180 60 11949 5850 4917 1182 Fees & Subscriptions 5124 5124 1429922 1010134 192828 226960 575634 689893 71770 22500 27690 40253 86355 81254 6298 5101 2960243 3344728 445627 335740 4087262 4438215 47705 69989 462776 348530 510481 418519 X 3066781 3424696 510000 595000 3576781 4019696 4087262 4438215 442915 0 X false true X true false X 572296 1238230 182926 379377 556642 2929471 572296 1238230 182926 379377 556642 2929471 1646440 1283031 78683 60722 27416 78483 45989 291293 11503 15826 20700 48029 3268793 0.39250 0.87870 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 2960243 492794 97359 10950 3344728 2711811 344205 77566 18207 2960243 3158255 -349610 78956 17878 2711811 3100310 365616 285015 22656 3158255 2922117 344888 145905 20790 3100310 1.00000 false false 86355 81254 5101 5101 Right of Use Assets 335740 335740 Lease Liability 348530 348530 X 1879686 17799 17799 1861887 10950 10950 1872837 1436771 17799 17799 1418972 10950 10950 1429922 Part V, Line 4-Intended uses of endowment funds The Board designated (Quasi) endowment was established to set up an operating reserve.
