What is the Southern Federation and the Southern Federation Foundation?
The Southern Federation is an organization of heritage and culture. Its members are Syrian-Lebanese Americans who promote American citizenship and foster American ideals in all their activities. It is comprised of over 4,000 members in 49 cities who gather semi-annually in a city within its 16 state territory, to pursue and foster goodwill among the members.
When the Southern Federation of Syrian-Lebanese American Clubs was organized, its purpose and mission was to devote itself to maintaining traditional fellowship, to encourage local and regional educational, civic, and charitable projects, and to contribute to charitable causes without regard to race or creed.
The Southern Federation Foundation, Inc. is the charitable arm of the Southern Federation. It is a non-profit organization chartered under the laws of the State of Texas. The Foundation is a Section 501(C)(3) approved Internal Revenue Service entity, thereby allowing all contributions to the Foundation to be fully tax-deductible.
