The 2023-2024 Benjamin Franklin Circle (BFC)

The name of this prestigious circle hearkens back to the original founder of our Club, Benjamin Franklin, and his legendary weekly suppers in Paris beginning in 1777.  BFC plays a key role in ensuring our club remains a visible link between France and the United States, secured by a financially sound foundation. We offer three levels of membership, available to individuals as well as French and American companies:  

The Ambassador’s Circle, offering our most significant level of support, is open to those making an annual gift of €2,500 or more. You represent the heart and soul of BFC. When you join, you will receive four (4) invitations to regular or gala events (over a one-year period), as well as special recognition (at your discretion) for your generosity on our Club website and in the President’s Annual General Meeting speech each July.

Benefactors are those generous supporters making an annual gift of €1,000 or more. As a Benefactor, you are entitled to two (2) invitations to regular Club events (over a one-year period), along with a special mention on our Club website (at your discretion).

Friends are those loyal supporters who kindly make an annual gift of €250 or more. As a friend, you may offer four (4) invitations to non-members at the Membership price (over a one-year period), and you will receive special mention on our Club website (at your discretion).

The American Club of Paris wishes to express our deep gratitude and appreciation to all our BFC Contributors !
