About Us

Our History

The Filipino-American Association of Coastal Georgia (FAACG) was founded in 1989 by a group of Filipino-American residents who recognized the need for a community organization to support and connect Filipino-Americans in the Coastal Georgia region.

Over the past three decades, FAACG has grown from a small group of dedicated individuals to a thriving community organization with over 1,000 members. We have established numerous programs and events that celebrate Filipino culture, provide educational opportunities, and support our local community.

Our Mission

Our Goals:

• Promote and preserve Filipino culture and heritage
• Provide educational and professional development opportunities

• Foster unity and cooperation among Filipino-Americans and the broader community
• Advocate for the interests of Filipino-Americans in Coastal Georgia
