Capital Campaign
A new home: the Joly Family Center for International Understanding
With the support of donors, members, students, staff, and community leaders, the Alliance Française Minneapolis/St Paul has moved to a new home. Situated in the vibrant Harrison neighborhood of Minneapolis, our new location better fits our needs and gives our community room to grow and thrive.
Located just west of downtown, the building is ADA accessible and features increased classroom capacity, dedicated off-street parking, and the space to offer additional cultural programs, education services, special events, and language immersion programs for all ages.
Our inviting new home at the Joly Family Center for International Understanding (The Joly Center) combines old-world charm with modern amenities. The Joly Center has room for us to grow and further our mission to serve our local community by promoting the use and appreciation of French language and cultures.
After a pandemic-related pause in fundraising efforts for the building, we have relaunched our Capital Campaign! Today, we are asking for your help. Whether you make a one-time gift, or prefer to maximize your donation through a multi-year pledge, every gift brings us closer to our goal.
