About Pilipino Association of Connecticut Inc.

In 1969, Filipino expatriates in the Greater Hartford area had an informal group that participated in social, recreational and athletic activities. Realizing that they could accomplish more by working together, the group ratified a constitution in 1972, adopted the official name Pilipinas-Connecticut and elected its first set of officers. This significant milestone marked the emergence of a potent force in the Filipino community in central Connecticut. In 1990, the organization became a non-profit non-stock corporation and changed its name to Pilipino Association of Connecticut Incorporated (PACI). Over the years, PACI’s mission expanded from a purely social focus to include civic and charitable purposes. In 2014, PACI gained its status as a tax-exempt non-profit charitable organization under section 501(c)(3) of the US Internal Revenue Code.

Today, PACI is an active non-profit tax-exempt organization composed of about two hundred Filipino-American families in central Connecticut. It is dedicated to serving the Filipino community through social, educational, civic and charitable activities.

PACI is committed to cultivate and preserve Philippine culture and ethnic values, and to educate Filipino-Americans about their rich cultural heritage.
