Indo-American Cultural Foundation of Central Jersey

Indo-American Cultural Foundation of Central New Jersey (IACFNJ) was established more than 20 years ago by American citizens of Indian origin living in the towns of Central Jersey. The purpose of the organization is to keep alive the culture, traditions and customs of India while imbibing the best from the adopted country. 

IACFNJ organizes many community events which include Navratri Garba, Summer Picnic, India’s Independence Day, Diwali Dinner, and various other cultural programs with the generous support from our local businesses, police and fire departments, school boards and township governments.  Our commitment is to continue working hard to organize these types of community events to keep our community involved. We’ve consistently grown in the last two decades, all thanks to the helping hands of this amazing community. 

Our mission is to establish an organization of people with Indian heritage, residing in communities of Central New Jersey.

-To unify individuals and/or families of South Asian ethnic background.

-To invite those of other ethnic backgrounds who may have interest in South Asian culture to join and participate in cultural activities. 

-To help strengthen the community through events and activities that invoke cultural & social involvement.

-To engage younger generations in activities that focus on giving back to the community.

-Provide scholarships to Indian students in local schools by essay writing competition or some other form of educational activities in collaboration with the PTO.
