Mission Statement

MISSION
The Filipino American Development Foundation exists to strengthen the social, physical, and economic well being of the Filipino American community and the South of Market community with special attention to the underserved segments of the community.

FADF's Mission will accomplish this by:

• Increasing awareness and knowledge about the Filipino American community through participation in educational and cultural programs.
• Increasing access to a wide range of economic, health and social services through collaboration with existing programs and the development of culturally appropriate services.
• Providing a community space to strengthen community ties, to facilitate the sharing of resources and expertise among service providers in SOMA, and to build leadership skills and the capacity of service providers to effectively provide relevant social services to the community.
  

VISION
Our vision is to provide the necessary support to strengthen and empower Filipino Americans to nable them to develop resources and assets that can benefit the local and broader community. We believe that the Filipino cultural value of bayanihan, which means mutual assistance and mutual caring, can be the catalyst for engaging the Filipino American community to self-development and broader participation.
