Keep Finnish Heritage Thriving!

  • Donate to FAA

    Your generous support is vital for sharing Finnish culture in the Twin Cities and beyond. Every donation to the Finnish American Association helps us pursue our mission – to promote, preserve, and celebrate our Finnish culture, heritage, and life in Minnesota, and elevate the visibility of contemporary Finland – by continuing our monthly programming and hosting community events like Joulu and Laskiainen. Please help us today by contributing to FAA, or to one of our special fundraisers. (See “How to Donate” below.)


  • FAA Salolampi Scholarship Fundraiser

    The FAA Salolampi Scholarship Funds support a bridge to Finnish roots through education. FAA Salolampi Scholarships help our children, grandchildren, nieces, and nephews, who are eager to learn Finnish language and culture, to attend Concordia’s Salolampi Finnish Language Village. By contributing, you’re nurturing a vibrant community enriched by tradition and heritage for future generations. (See “How to Donate” below.)

  • Kauneimmat Joululaulut

    Each year, just before Christmas, FAA works with other Finnish American volunteers to put on Kauneimmat Joululaulut (The Most Beautiful Christmas Songs), followed by coffee time and a Joulu Market. If you are unable to attend but would like to support the tradition, you can donate either to the KJ General Fund or the KJ Mission fund. (See “How to Donate” below.)
