National Alliance for Filipino Concerns

The National Alliance for Filipino Concerns (NAFCON) is a comprehensive national platform dedicated to addressing the multifaceted needs of Filipino communities across the United States and the Philippines. Based in San Francisco, CA, NAFCON operates through four core pillars that structure its work: Culture and Heritage, Education, Health and Wellness, and Advocacy. The organization brings together Filipino organizations, institutions, and individuals to create meaningful, action-oriented solutions to community concerns. NAFCON's expertise spans immigration rights protection, labor advocacy, and workplace justice. The organization has successfully recovered over 1 million dollars in unpaid wages for Filipino caregivers, hotel workers, and other laborers through targeted campaigns addressing wage theft and workplace discrimination. NAFCON also specializes in community-based learning engagements, including workshops, trainings, and leadership development programs that empower Filipino youth and adults nationwide. The organization coordinates medical and solidarity missions to marginalized communities in the Philippines while simultaneously engaging in policy advocacy and grassroots organizing throughout the United States. NAFCON operates multiple campaigns reflecting community priorities, including initiatives focused on disaster relief, healthcare access, and justice and accountability. As a certified 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, NAFCON maintains a network of affiliated organizations and welcomes both organizational and individual affiliates who share its points of unity centered on Filipino empowerment, cultural preservation, rights protection, and community welfare.
