Welcome to the Philippine-American Association of North Carolina (PAANC).

The Board promises a productive 2008. We have a great group of committed volunteers who have spent much time and continues to do so in achieving the goals of PAANC. 



Mission Statement
The mission of the PAANC is to preserve cultural heritage, foster education and social exchange, and provide humanitarian assistance and services in the wake of a natural or economic disaster regardless of geographical location, but especially in North Carolina and in the Philippines.

Organization Description
PAANC is a registered non-profit 501c(3) organization comprised mostly of Filipino-Americans residing in and around the Triangle who share a common vision. Founded in 1984 and the first of its kind, what started out to be three or four families have now grown to over one hundred members. Year after year, it has served its members, local communities and various regions of the Philippines in the enhancement of cultural, social, health, education, and economic arenas. It continues to strive to meet the growing and ever changing needs of its members and those in dire need of assistance.
