SUPPORT AIM
Your donation helps the Associatio Internationalis Monastica to promote and encourage cooperation and solidarity between monasteries. It contributes to the human, cultural and spiritual formation of communities and supports the exchange of ideas and experiences. We thank you for your contribution to support all of our actions.
Since 1961, AIM has been serving Benedictine, Cistercian and Trappist monasteries worldwide. It encourages solidarity between communities, supports the formation of monks and nuns and their projects, in Europe as well as in Africa, Asia or Latin America.
You can help us in three ways: by making a donation to AIM via the Abbatialis fund, by making a donation to the Benedictus Foundation for the social works of monasteries, or by having a mass celebrated.
Whatever form your support takes, thank you!
Thanks to you, these communities can continue to pray, learn and serve those around them.
Support our missions
Support AIM through the Abbatialis fund
AIM supports projects selected by the Executive Committee, particularly those with a religious focus (training, construction, etc.). You can make a donation to AIM, but you will not be eligible for a tax receipt. If you would like a tax receipt, please see the information provided by the Benedictus Foundation. Thank you.
To have a Mass celebrated
It is a Foundation hosted by the Caritas France Foundation.
The Benedictus Foundation, in close collaboration with AIM, supports the social works of monasteries . You can make a donation to support them and receive a tax receipt.
Make a donation to AIM
With tax receipt
Monastic communities around the world need support: young communities in Africa, Asia, and Latin America that are being founded and growing with limited resources, and aging communities in Europe that seek to pass on their heritage. Abbatialis, an endowment fund created to support the AIM (Association of Monastic Immigrants), enables them to train their monks and nuns, maintain or build a place of communal living, and foster mutual support and reflection throughout the monastic network, particularly through its Bulletin.
Your donation supports these communities in what lies at the heart of their vocation.
You will receive a tax receipt: 66% of your donation is deductible from income tax.
A donation of €60 will therefore cost you €20.40.
Make a donation to the Foundation
With tax receipt
In close collaboration with AIM, the Benedictus Foundation supports the social work of monasteries: schools, clinics, workshops, and shelters for the poorest members of society. Wherever they are established, monks and nuns care for those around them, but they do not always have the resources to meet all their needs. Your donation enables them to continue this service. The Benedictus Foundation is hosted by the Caritas France Foundation.
As the Caritas France Foundation is recognized as a public utility, your donation entitles you to a reduction in income tax (66%) or IFI (75%).
To have a Mass celebrated
No tax receipt
You have an intention: a deceased loved one, a sick person, a birth, a grace requested or received... Through AIM, you can entrust it to a monk who will carry it to the altar, in the heart of a monastery where prayer never ceases.
You can request a Mass, a novena, or a thirty-day Mass, and let the AIM choose from among the monasteries in its network, or you can designate the community that will celebrate your intention, wherever it may be in the world. Many of these communities rely heavily on the generosity of the faithful in a sometimes difficult regional context, and despite their hard work: your offering helps them to live and continue their vocation of prayer.
