Organization Details

Friendship Ambassadors Foundation, Inc. is a nonprofit, tax exempt, 501c3 NGO, affiliated with UNESCO, United Nations Department of Public Information, American Choral Directors Association, IATA, and others. FAF facilitates meaningful cultural exchange opportunities for discerning, group-based travelers of all ages throughout the world. MISSION: FAF organizes arts and, more broadly, cultural exchange projects in order to promote mutual understanding and global cooperation. Cultural exchange participants of all ages, in academic and diplomatic delegations, and as part of other dance, music, choral (choir), and other cultural groups partake in real interaction during their travels. Hallmarks of successful FAF programs include cultural/performance tours, conference organization, homestays abroad, reconciliation and relief programs, and special projects like our annual Youth Assembly at the United Nations, and other special group travel opportunities.

SERVICES: From diplomatic delegations to concert performance tours, FAF organizes all aspects of travel, meeting, administration, and development for specialized, group-based travel experiences. Consultation, development, and fiscal agent services (assisting emerging nonprofit peace organizations that share FAF?s goals) augment the foundation?s main efforts to facilitate nonprofit, customized group travel, concert tours, and cultural exchange worldwide. Note: Music, dance, and choral (choir) appreciation tours are also offered as fund development tools for groups we serve ? FAF does not charge a fee for such services. And - a portion of each program is fully tax deductible as allowed by law to each participant or their family. VISION: Friendship Ambassadors Foundation believes that cultural exchanges and concert performance tours abroad are special and meaningful ways for Americans to learn more about the rest of the world. Cultural gatherings of all kinds, especially dance, choral and instrumental music programs, transcend language barriers and enable a more basic, pure interaction to take place among those involved. Mutual understanding and global cooperation are encouraged by cultural exchange and essential for the education of youth ? the leaders of the future ? as well as to reconnect the leaders of today in ways beyond business, religion, and politics would permit. Furthermore, these programs can become valuable fund development and sustainable resource tools for the groups we serve on both ends of many exchanges, concert tours, youth assemblies, and other interactive programming worldwide.
