French-American Heritage Foundation of Minnesota

The French-American Heritage Foundation of Minnesota, based in Woodbury, MN, is a dedicated 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to promoting and preserving French-language cultures and heritage. Since its establishment in 2013, FAHF has become a vital resource for the Minnesota community, offering a comprehensive range of educational programs, seminars, and classes that celebrate the rich history of French-speaking peoples who shaped the region. The organization actively sponsors heritage events and educational initiatives throughout Minnesota and the Midwest, providing members and the public with valuable information about French-language cultures and related heritage activities.

FAHF operates through an engaged board of directors who carefully curate and organize programs designed to educate and inspire the public about French heritage. The foundation maintains an extensive online resource library featuring genealogy links, information about Minnesota French historical sites with an interactive map, heritage entertainment options, and connections to French heritage organizations and websites. Additionally, FAHF publishes educational materials, including seven books available through their heritage events and online retailers, with all net proceeds supporting the foundation's mission. The organization offers membership opportunities and operates the 100 Associates Endowment Fund initiative, which provides annual grants to support educational events and services aligned with their mission. Serving the Woodbury area and beyond, FAHF welcomes individuals, families, and organizations to participate in preserving and celebrating French-American heritage for future generations.
