Our Mission

Finlandia Foundation National has been fiercely Finnish since 1953; we champion our culture and heritage across the United States by supporting educational opportunities and promoting diverse, relevant and enriching programs.

the Finnish American Folk School, the Art Gallery, Price of Freedom Museum and North Wind Books store.
