FOMAA ( Federation of Malayalee Associations of America)

Founded in 2008, FOMAA has become a vibrant community organization that serves all Keralites by encouraging networking, participating in both the traditional and mainstream parts of the Kerala Culture along with Mainstream American life. FOMAA’s main objective is to organize and coordinate Social, Cultural, Charitable and Educational activities on National and International levels. FOMAA has conducted three International Conventions and three Kerala Conventions in the past. In addition, FOMAA was instrumental in conducting Bridging of the Mind program in 2011, many medical camps in 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 in conjunction with the assistance of numerous individuals and businesses.

FOMAA is recognized as the leading national Malayalee umbrella organization which is comprised of 73 local Kerala/ Malayalee associations throughout North America and Canada. We have proven our commitment to bringing together Keralites from across North America to prove we are a growing, close-knit community. FOMAA is committed to protect its member’s cultural, social, economic and linguistic damage or loss when they arrive in North America. FOMAA provides an emotional, psychological, economical and linguistic support to withstand the challenges when a member face the realities of a foreign culture by convening seminars, forum and through financial as well as educational help lines.

GOAL : FOMAA conducts all home bound cultural programs through its local member associations to revive the nostalgic feelings of the older generations and to instill an awareness about the cultural roots among the younger generations. Through experience and appreciating, there should be a way to stimulate people of Kerala origin to take part in the leadership roles, be mentors, and speak up and be community leaders. They will learn the ways to intermix cultures rather than being confused, be positive and confident of themselves.
