About American Hungarian Federation

The American Hungarian Federation is a national non-profit organization dedicated to serving the Hungarian-American community and advancing the interests of people of Hungarian descent across the United States. Based in Washington, DC, the organization operates as a non-partisan, all-volunteer charitable and educational institution with 501(c)(3) status, providing comprehensive support through multiple service areas including community outreach, human rights advocacy, and educational initiatives.

As the largest Hungarian-American umbrella organization in the country, the Federation represents the collective interests of its members and a broad cross-section of the Hungarian-American community. The organization specializes in bridging cultural and diplomatic connections between the United States and Hungary, while actively monitoring human rights conditions across the Carpathian Basin where ethnic Hungarians live in minority populations. Through its work in Washington, DC, the Federation provides decision-makers and influencers with timely, dependable information and contacts to support Hungary's continued democratic and economic development.

The Federation's charitable programs include partial scholarship opportunities for young Hungarians attending colleges in both the United States and Hungary through established family scholarship programs. The organization also engages the community through cultural celebrations, White House briefings, gala dinners, and support for community-wide events and resources. Since its founding, the Federation has raised millions of dollars to complete hundreds of projects benefiting the Hungarian-American community and people of Hungarian descent on both sides of the Atlantic.
