German American Cultural Foundation

The German-American Cultural Foundation in Atlanta is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting and preserving German language, culture and heritage in the south-eastern United States and to supporting institutions with similar goals. The Foundation strives to strengthen the transatlantic relationship by advancing intercultural awareness and know-how between German speaking countries and the United States, through the support of educational activities, community events, and the arts. The German American Cultural Foundation fosters the mutual understanding between people. Our focus is on: Promoting German language knowledge Bringing the best of German culture to the southeastern United States Educating the next generation of American business leaders to be able to respond to different corporate cultures and lifestyles. The German language is the number one language in Europe. It is spoken by almost 150 million Europeans. It is mainly spoken in the heart of Europe by Austrians, Swiss’, Germans, and is partially spoken in six European countries. The common language is a platform that connects people beyond their country’s borders, and it is also an entry ticket to gain first-hand access to their rich cultural past and present. We organize community events (e.g. Oktoberfest Fun Run, Christkindlmarket, etc.) and support organisations such as Atlanta's Goethe-Zentrum, The German School of Atlanta, Atlanta Public Schools German language teachers, the AIS, the ICSA, the Global Youth Ambassadors, etc. and partner with other foundations and organisations for international exchange, career development and continued education to develop the skills of students and business leaders alike.
