Support for Baltic non-profit organizations in the U.S.

From our early beginnings we have partnered with other Latvian-American organizations to build a thriving community. We recently embarked on a project to organize the LRFA archives and were reminded of these rich relationships. From seed funding to mortgages, LRFA has helped lay the foundation for many of these organizations that continue to flourish today.

  • American Latvian Association
  • Latvian Societies & Clubs
  • Latvian Churches & homes for the elderly
  • Youth programs such as the Latvian Boy Scouts & Girl Guides and summer camps
  • Latvian Veterans groups
  • Latvian Broadcasting in Chicago. This is the only radio station in America that broadcasts in the Latvian language.

Some of the many Latvian-American partner organizations helped by LRFA

Construction of Latvian Centers in the U.S.

In 2009, LRFA provided a loan to the Latvian Evangelical Lutheran Church in Washington, DC so that they could improve access for the elderly and disabled. We provided additional funding to build a retirement home.
