French-American Heritage Foundation of Minnesota
About French-American Heritage Foundation of Minnesota
Founded in 2013 and serving the Woodbury, Minnesota community, the French-American Heritage Foundation of Minnesota honors the profound legacy of French-speaking peoples who helped establish what is now Minnesota. This Minnesota-based nonprofit was incorporated with a clear mission: to foster greater understanding of the rich history and heritage of French-speaking people who contributed to the region's formation. With its vision to preserve, advance, and celebrate French-American heritage and culture, FAHF has grown into a cornerstone organization that connects people across Minnesota and the Midwest who share pride in their French roots.
The foundation celebrated its 10-year anniversary in 2023 and continues expanding its impact through an active board of directors and dedicated membership base. FAHF serves as a gathering place for community members interested in French heritage, offering genealogical resources, heritage tours, festival participation, and connections to Twin Cities businesses and restaurants with French connections. The organization relies on charitable donations and membership support to sustain its work, with all contributions being fully tax-deductible. By creating an endowment fund through the 100 Associates initiative in partnership with the Saint Paul Minnesota Foundation, FAHF demonstrates its commitment to ensuring that French-American heritage programs and cultural celebration thrive well into the future. Whether you're researching your French ancestry, exploring cultural connections, or simply passionate about preserving this important heritage in Woodbury and throughout Minnesota, FAHF welcomes you to become part of this vibrant community.
