Annual Fund

Build connections, strengthen community, and keep tradition alive -
Support the GAI Annual Fund today!

At the Germanic-American Institute, every language class, festival, and cultural program brings people together. Your generosity helps us provide German language education for all ages, support student scholarships, celebrate German culture, and care for our historic Haus.

Program fees and tuition cover only part of what makes these experiences possible. Your support helps bridge the gap and ensures the GAI remains a welcoming place to learn, celebrate, and belong. Help us reach our $100,000 Annual Fund goal by December 31, 2026!

Here are some examples of how your tax-deductible gift will make a difference:

• $100 buys ingredients for one month’s worth of Kaffee und Kuchen programs

• $250 supports scholarships for middle school and high school students studying abroad in Germany

• $500 offsets the cost of maintaining the GAI’s website, helping us communicate with our members and learners

• $1,000 helps produce community-wide cultural events in Saint Paul

Herzlichen Dank — Whether your connection to Germanic culture is rooted in family or heritage, a passion for learning, a business relationship, or love for our historic facility, your support keeps the GAI a welcoming space for all.
