The French Legation Endowment
The French Legation Museum was the fortunate recipient in 2004 of a $5,000 contribution from the Saunders Family Foundation. The money was designated for the establishment of an endowment to benefit the operation of the French Legation by The Daughters of The Republic of Texas. This endowment is managed by the Austin Community Foundation. The decision was made to allow the principal of the endowment to grow to at least $20,000 before any of the interest is used. Checks should be made to the French Legation Endowment. Another way to contribute to the Endowment is to buy a 50th Anniversary Pin. (Please visit our Gift Shop for more details.) Please direct any questions to (512) 472-8180. Your support of this endowment fund will help the French Legation continue its mission of presenting the story of this important historic building and life in The Republic of Texas.
Randall’s Good Neighbor Program
The French Legation Museum is a participant in the Randall's "Good Neighbor Program." Through this program, Randall's offers its customers a chance to direct Randall's donation dollars to support local non-profit organizations. Here's how it works: Link your existing Remarkable Card by completing a Remarkable Application Form at any Courtesy Booth. Fill in the top portion and the "Good Neighbor Program" section, indicating the French Legation Museum account number
298. Then each time you make a purchase using your Remarkable card, Randall's will apply a portion of your purchase as a credit to the French Legation Good Neighbor account. Help us spread the word about this as the more people who link their Remarkable Card to our account number, the more FLM will receive!
