Filipino-American Association of Greater Birmingham

What Filipino-American Association of Greater Birmingham does

The Filipino-American Association of Greater Birmingham, Inc. (FAAGB) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit community organization founded on December 8, 1989, incorporated on September 15, 2003 in Jefferson County, Alabama, and headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama, USA (the firmographics field marking "United Kingdom" is contradicted by every other data point in the input, including the Jefferson County, Alabama incorporation, Hoover and Homewood venues, and Alabama-based nonprofit partners; the corroborated record is therefore USA). Its mission is to promote Filipino culture, community unity, and service for Filipinos, Filipino-Americans, and newcomers in the greater Birmingham metropolitan area through social, cultural, educational, and charitable activities. Governance is by an elected Executive Committee and a Board of Directors on bi-annual officer cycles, with current 2026-2027 President Maria Luisa Braden, Vice President Jun Bitago, Treasurer Isabella Guevara, and Chairman of the Board Chris Valencia.

FAAGB does not develop or sell technology products; its core offerings are programmatic — an annual calendar of community events headlined by the 128th Philippine Independence Day Gala (June 13, 2026 at Hyatt Regency Birmingham - The Wynfrey Hotel), Easter Picnic, Christmas Party, Charity Golf Tournament, and Pickleball Tournament — alongside a tiered annual membership program and charitable community-outreach partnerships with Alabama Childhood Food Solutions, Habitat for Humanity, and Rise Against Hunger. Operations rely on a WordPress website (faagb.org), Facebook and Instagram accounts (facebook.com/share/g/14dY6B8e7cg and instagram.com/filambham), monthly email newsletters, and digital payment tools (Zelle, Venmo, check) for membership enrollment and event ticket sales. There is no mobile app, no public API, no proprietary technology stack, and no paid technical staff; the organization is entirely volunteer-led through elected officers, Board members, and member volunteers.

Revenue is generated from three streams: annual membership dues (Individuals $20, Couples $25, Families $30, Students $10, Seniors 70+ free), event-related revenue including ticket sales and corporate/local business sponsorships (Hometown Supermarket, NoyPi Asian Market, Super Oriental Market / Red Pearl Restaurant, Maharlika Fil-Am Association), and charitable donations from members and supporters. The flagship gala is priced at $70 per member and $80 per non-member with a 10% early-registration discount. Mutual institutional partnerships with the Philippine Nurses Association of Alabama (PNAAL), Maharlika Fil-Am Association, and the named nonprofits extend FAAGB's volunteer capacity for community service. No external venture capital, private equity, or institutional grant funding has been disclosed.
