Montclair African-American Heritage Foundation
The Montclair African-American Heritage Foundation serves as an outreach organization to broaden minds and spirits. To preserve history, we recognize and promote cultural resources as an essential element of Montclair's economic and social well-being.
MAAHF's mission is to build upon the rich African-American cultural legacy through the support of quality local programs funded through grassroots organized events. Providing quality historical, health, and cultural education within interactive forum settings will in turn strengthen our community as a whole. Additionally, through individual, corporate, and business support, we provide recurring scholastic scholarships and foster opportunities to create model programs that encourage harmonious living.
MAAHF is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization supported by a diverse committee of volunteers who have affection for the Montclair, NJ community. Our volunteers live both in and outside of Montclair.
Get ready for our most anticipated event of the year… the MAAHF Parade & Festival!
Join us on Saturday, June 1st at Nishuane Park in Montclair, New Jersey!
