Our Mission

The mission of MAAHF is to build upon the rich African-American cultural legacy through support of quality local programs funded through grass roots 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 which encourage harmonious living.

The goal of MAAHF is to sponsor educational events and activities to promote community building, fostering of good neighbors and address issues affecting the ​African-American community in Montclair.  The neighborhoods have significantly changed over the years and a lot of history has been lost. Our programs are intended to influence how the Montclair community experiences the local African-American Heritage, culture, and concerns.
