OUR MISSION

The German-American Heritage Foundation of the USA is dedicated to promoting and preserving the cultural heritage of Americans of German-speaking ancestry in the United States.

 

We are a non-profit, educational organization which serves as a national membership organization through which Americans, proud of their German heritage and language, work together on vital issues of common concern.

OUR PRIORITIES

  • Establish a national heritage site in Washington DC which documents, collects, conserves, interprets and displays the historical and cultural experiences and achievements of persons of German-speaking descent.
  •  Strengthen the ethnic and cultural awareness and pride of Americans of German-speaking ancestry.
  •  Promote German language and culture. 
  •  Cultivate German American friendship and cooperation. 
  •  Support cooperative efforts among German Americans and their organizations.  

MEMBERSHIP

Membership in the German-American Heritage Foundation of the USA is open to any person of German-speaking heritage or anyone interested in German American culture and language.  According to the 2000 census, there are almost 43 million Americans who fall into this latter category.  But, you don't have to have German forefathers to be a member. JOIN NOW
