GivingTuesday is a global generosity movement unleashing the power of people and organizations to transform their
communities and the world. The Alliance Française de Seattle is joining the movement with a 2020 campaign placed under the
values of community, resilience, and integrity. In 2020, the world faced unprecedented
adversity. Community has helped people cope with an incredibly difficult year, and together we proved our
resilience
throughout these challenges. The Alliance Française de Seattle is grateful for its wonderful members, students, supporters, and staff, and
pledges to continue its ongoing mission to serve all of you with openness, expertise, and integrity.
Giving Tuesday takes place on
Tuesday, December 1, 2020.

Thank you for taking part in the global generosity movement #GivingTuesday with us and for showing your support for our
2021 programs.
We would like to acknowledge and deeply thank our generous donors who participated in this campaign or supported our programs during 2020. Thanks to all of you, the Alliance Française de Seattle raised $23,227, which will go towards our 2021 scholarships, community and cultural programs, and operational costs.
Together, we did it!
