Charlie Hebdo, the satirical newspaper whose staff was decimated by Islamic extremist gunmen and then beset by internal tensions over an unexpected influx of donations and readers, says it will give the money to victims of the three days of attacks in January.
A pair of French-born brothers killed 12 people - most of them journalists - during an editorial meeting on January 7.
The publication was targeted for its caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed.
The three days of attacks, c-oordinated with a third man targeting a kosher supermarket and policewoman, left a total of 17 dead before the gunmen were shot to death in police raids.
Suddenly flush with cash from donations and a global readership, the weekly paper found high tension among surviving staff, largely over the money.
After a handful of prominent departures and new arrivals, it has largely returned to its original mission of skewering politics, religion and other institutions with its usual mix of profanity, obscenity and raw humour.
In a statement on Wednesday, Charlie Hebdo said it would turn over nearly four million euros ($A6 million) from 84 countries, and that the French government had appointed an oversight committee to determine how the money would be redistributed in coming weeks.
The paper expressed "gratitude to the donors and those who, freely and in total discretion, wanted to take part in the collection and redistribution of these donations".
