About CAFAM

The Chinese & American Friendship Association of Maine (CAFAM) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that promotes friendship between Chinese Americans, non-Chinese Americans, and Chinese people of all nationalities.

CAFAM was founded in 1988 by a small group of dedicated individuals who believed in the importance of promoting cultural exchanges, preserving Chinese culture, and holding annual celebrations and events.

CAFAM provides forums and outreach to promote awareness of and appreciation for Chinese culture. We promote friendship between non-Chinese Americans, Chinese-Americans, and Chinese people, whether from the People’s Republic of China, Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore, or elsewhere.

We sponsor activities each year, including a Mid-Autumn (Moon) Festival Celebration, a Lunar New Year Celebration, potlucks, film screenings, and other events. We also support the Maine Historical Society in building a Chinese in Maine archive, collaborate with other local organizations, and promote educational outreach.

We invite anyone with an interest in China to become a member.
