The first Filipino-American organization in Colorado Springs, the Filipino-American Association, was initially started in July 1978 by several local families gathering together to celebrate special occasions. The Filipino-American Association dissolved in the summer of 1982. Because of the request of several Filipino-American families living in Colorado Springs, a survey was conducted by Mr. Ron Nono to determine if there was sufficient interest in the local community to establish a Filipino-American organization. Based upon the results of the survey, the Filipino-American Community of Southern Colorado was organized and founded on January 1, 1993. In 1995 a significant milestone was achieved by the Community with the establishment of a scholarship fund. The first scholarships were awarded in 1996 and continue to be awarded yearly.
