Pediatric medicine in France is facing a major crisis because there is a shortage of specialists, practicing pediatricians are aging, and public hospitals are overwhelmed. For these reasons, the American Hospital of Paris has launched the creation of a pediatric center recognized in France and abroad. This ambitious project, designed to serve the public good, will guarantee rapid access to medical excellence.
The new center will feature a medical surgical unit providing urgent pediatric care for non-life-threatening conditions, a large unit dedicated to general and specialist consultations, enhanced services in abdominal and orthopedic surgery, as well as a day hospital offering innovative care pathways and full inpatient beds.
The new center will treat 15,000 children and adolescents annually, who will benefit from premium patient services, an ultra-personalized approach, streamlined administrative processes and follow-up care via telemedicine.
Unfortunately, pediatric medicine is not a priority in France. The amount of time spent with patients is steadily decreasing, leading to higher levels of dissatisfaction among families and professionals.
The American Hospital of Paris’s ambition is to provide comprehensive, highly-personalized patient-oriented pediatric care in one easily accessible place.
Our approach is modeled on academic pediatric centers. In synergy with a network of French and American partners, including Hôpital Necker-Enfants malades, Institut Imagine, Université Paris-Saclay, Columbia University and Weill Cornell Medicine, we aim to promote all types of pediatric medical innovation.
The success of a project this ambitious depends on a single criterion: excellence. Our excellence must be visible at every level – in the care we provide, in our patient services, in our expertise and in the investments made. Mobilizing all who support the American Hospital of Paris will be the key to our success!”
For more than a century, the American Hospital of Paris has been expanding, modernizing and innovating for its patients, thanks to its benefactors’ unwavering support.

You are subject to the French wealth tax on real estate assets (IFI) if the net value of your real estate assets exceeds €1,300,000. The value of the assets being reported is their estimated value on January 1st of the tax year in question. Your primary residence always benefits from a 30% allowance. The assets taken into account in the IFI tax base are those owned by all members of the tax household combined.

If you want to reduce your IFI tax to a minimum, simply calculate as follows: IFI/0.75 = your donation amount. Use our calculator to determine how much IFI tax credit you can receive for your donation.
To qualify for a 2026 IFI tax credit, your donation must be made before your tax filing deadline. The date varies depending on the French department you live in and whether you file by paper or online.
You can make your donation by:
If you encounter any difficulties, please contact our Major Gifts department at + 33 1 46 41 27 97.
You must mention your donation in the section “Réduction d’impôt pour des organismes d’intérêt général établis en France” (tax credit for charitable donations in France) in Box 9 of Form 2042-IFI (supplementary income declaration). Also be sure to store the tax receipt we send you in a safe place, in case you are asked to present it to the tax authorities.
You cannot receive the maximum tax credit against your IFI wealth tax and your income tax simultaneously, but you may choose to split your donation amount between the two taxes.
For example, if you donate €15,000, you may divide this amount between your IFI wealth tax and your income tax as follows:
→ IFI wealth tax: €10,000 for a €7,500 tax credit (€10,000 X 75%)
→ Income tax: €5,000 for a €3,300 tax credit (€5,000 X 66%)
Your tax credits total €10,800, meaning your donation actually costs you only €4,200.
If you quality for a tax credit that goes over the maximum credit allowed or exceeds the amount of IFI tax you owe, you cannot carry over the surplus to reduce your IFI in the following years. However, you may report part of your donation (up to €66,667) for an IFI tax credit and the remainder of your donation can be reported for an income tax credit, with a maximum credit of 20% of your taxable income.
