About Alliance Francaise de Providence
The mission of the Alliance Française of Providence is to promote the French and Francophone culture and language in the State of Rhode Island and to establish and nurture ties of friendship with our American friends. We are a French cultural center that has been serving the Providence community as the premier provider of French language and culture since 1901.
The Alliance Française of Providence was created in 1901 as the third chapter in North America. It is a cultural and educational independent non-profit Rhode Island corporation governed by a volunteer French-American Board of 18 Directors. The Providence chapter does not receive any funds from the French government and supports itself with its Language Center, the dues paid by its members and its continuing fundraising efforts. In 1982, the Alliance received a 501c3 certificate from the Federal government so therefore all donations are tax deductible. The Alliance of Providence is proud to count more than 250 members and, through its social media accounts, reaches 2,500 friends who attend its cultural and social events throughout the year.
