Federation of Turkish American Associations

The Federation of Turkish American Associations serves as a vital bridge connecting Turkish culture, business, and community throughout the United States, with headquarters in New York, NY. Since its establishment in 1956, the Federation has grown to represent over 40 member associations spanning diverse ethnic, technical, and social backgrounds, including organizations representing Turkic nations such as Azeris, Uzbeks, and Karacays, as well as professional associations of doctors and engineers. The organization operates as a dynamic network conduit, coordinating activities and support systems across member organizations primarily concentrated in the Northeast region while maintaining a presence nationwide.

The Federation specializes in cultural promotion and public relations, showcasing Turkish heritage through literature, music, history, folklore, and arts to American audiences. Notable initiatives include organizing major cultural events such as the Turkish Parade and coordinating public relations activities that celebrate Turkish traditions. Beyond cultural programming, the Federation actively facilitates business development by promoting commercial relationships between Turkish and non-Turkish companies seeking to conduct business with the Turkish community domestically and internationally. The organization has evolved significantly over its decades of service, expanding its scope and membership while maintaining its core mission of uniting and supporting the Turkish-American community. Today, the Federation operates at both national and international levels, continuing to strengthen bonds between Turkish and American communities through strategic partnerships, cultural exchange, and business development initiatives.
