The Filipino Cultural Center Foundation (FCCF) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization created to foster, promote, and support Filipino cultural and community programs in the greater Kansas City area; and to establish and support a building fund for the Filipino Cultural Center, the "home" of our local Filipino community.

Mission

The FCCF continues to support the Filipino Association, consistent with its long-range priorities. The Foundation receives and administers funds from donors to the Filipino Cultural Center through various fundraising activities. Its primary goals are:

• To plan, develop, and implement a capital fund campaign for the completion, maintenance, and support of the Filipino Cultural Center.


• To establish a permanent exhibit area for cultural, educational, and scientific artifacts of historical and societal impact to the greater Kansas City community.


• To promote, maintain, and support the cultural arts, education, and community service programs.


• To reach out to the community at large for participation in educational, social, and health programs.

History

Since purchasing property in Overland Park, KS in 1978, the Filipino Association had been working steadfastly and patiently to build its dream - the Filipino Cultural Center - a building that would reflect its rich cultural heritage. However its fundraising efforts were slow, encumbered by the other general activities of the organization.

The FCCF was incorporated in 1994 with the main purpose of establishing a building fund for the Filipino Cultural Center. Over the next several years, the Foundation conducted a dedicated capital fund campaign. In 2000 Phase I of the Filipino Cultural Center was successfully completed.
