What is FFSC?

As the largest chapter of the nationwide Finlandia Foundation, FFSC actively pursues the objectives that have been the core of the chapter since its establishment in 1968:

  •  
    		• To promote ethnic cultural activities for the learning of the Finnish language and developing an appreciation of Finnish literature, history, art, and music through lectures, seminars, concerts, and programs.
  •  
    		• To support activities of libraries, museums, colleges and churches directed towards Finnish-American culture.
  •  
    		• To cultivate an understanding of the Finnish culture with Finnish-Americans and others interested in Finland.

     

    What does FFSC offer its members?

    These are but a few of the many benefits:
  •  
    		• A bi-monthly newsletter providing information on news and events of FFSC and other Finnish organizations as well as news and tidbits on life in Finland.
  •  
    		• Scholarships given each year by the Chapter to outstanding students.
