The Filipino American Community of Colorado (FACC) is believed to be the oldest Asian nonprofit in Colorado. The Denver-based organization kicked of its 70th anniversary on January 27, 2024 with a performance at the King Theater, followed by a gala at the Tivoli Turnhalle Ballroom, both located at the Auraria Campus in Denver.

October 1 marks the start of Filipino American History Month, a time each year dedicated to honoring the history, accomplishments and legacy of Filipinos in the United States. And this year marks the 70th anniversary of the Filipino American Community of Colorado, one of the oldest Asian-American nonprofits in our state. We spoke about the milestone with Domingo Belen and Jericho Stratton in March.
