A 501(c)(3) tax-exempt charitable organization.

In 1969, Filipino expatriates in Greater Hartford formed an informal group for social, recreational, and athletic activities. Recognizing the potential of working together, they ratified a constitution in 1972, adopting the name Pilipinas-Connecticut and electing their first officers. This marked the beginning of a strong Filipino community presence in central Connecticut.

In 1990, the group became a non-profit corporation and rebranded as the Pilipino Association of Connecticut, Inc. (PACI). Initially focused on social events, PACI expanded its mission to include civic and charitable endeavors. By 2014, PACI earned its 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status.

Today, PACI serves over 200 Filipino-American families in central Connecticut, fostering Filipino culture through social, educational, civic, and charitable activities. Committed to preserving Philippine heritage, PACI has hosted six Filipiniana Night Cultural Shows, celebrating Filipino dances, songs, and cuisine. These shows embody PACI’s mission to promote cultural diversity, educate younger generations, and raise funds for community projects.
