Federation of Cypriot American Organizations

The Federation of Cypriot American Organizations (FCAO), based in Glen Head, NY, serves as the coordinating hub for 28 Greek Cypriot American associations throughout the United States. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, the FCAO specializes in organizing and promoting a comprehensive range of cultural, charitable, educational, fraternal, and professional activities that strengthen the Cypriot American community. The organization coordinates social and philanthropic initiatives across its network of chapters, ensuring that member organizations can effectively pursue their individual missions while benefiting from collective resources and strategic alignment. The FCAO undertakes charitable activities primarily within the Cypriot and Greek-American communities, managing scholarship programs, hosting annual conventions, and facilitating networking events that bring together community leaders and professionals. Additionally, the organization focuses on language preservation and cultural education, promoting Greek language instruction and advancing knowledge of Greek and Cypriot history and cultural heritage throughout the United States. The FCAO also works closely with the Greek Orthodox Church to support the establishment and preservation of Greek American identity and Orthodox faith traditions. Through testimonial dinners, receptions, and community surveys, the Glen Head-based organization maintains strong connections with the diaspora while fostering dialogue with leadership from Cyprus and the broader Hellenic world.
