                       Your Donation at Work

FOBANA is a well-recognized 501 C(3) charity organization in North America. Since 1987 FOBANA has been engaged in philanthropic activities in both US and overseas; whether a cyclone in the USA, a flood in Bangladesh, or a humanitarian crisis in Bosnia, we were there to help. We partner with communities, nonprofit organizations, academic institutions, the private sector, and development organizations to make things better for the humanities.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, FOBANA was on the frontline helping communities across the US with food, cash, and humanitarian supplies, we also reached out to a few overseas non-profit organizations to partner with and extend our relief work in Bangladesh.
All these philanthropic acts are possible because of your generous donation and support. Together we can make a difference, and to make a difference we don’t need to be rich, brilliant, leaders, or perfect, we just have to care and be there.
FOBANA needs your support every day, please donate by clicking here Donate or clicking on Donate from Top Nav Menu!

FOBANA Scholarship

In 2015, FOBANA had a simple but profound idea to start a Scholarship program involving FOBANA volunteers, students, parents, businesses, educational institutions, and communities to help students fulfill their college dreams. Since the inception of the FOBANA Scholarship program, we disbursed close to $100 thousand to a few hundred students across the US and overseas. We believe that no student should ever give up on their dream because of financial barriers placed in their path and this is why FOBNANA started the Scholarship program since then we have done so much good, and there is always room to do so much more with your help.

FOBANA Youth Forum

The FOBANA Youth Forum will bring an international understanding for North American Bangladeshi youth and allow them to connect with a network that spans across the world. FOBANA wants to bring first-generation Bangladeshi Americans to develop leadership skills while discovering the power of service for others. Together we want to provide service to others, promote integrity, advance world understanding, and develop community leaders. We believe in our youth, the FOBANA Youth Forum can help bridge the gap between older and younger Bangladeshi generations for a greater community.

North America Bengali Artist Profile (NABAP)

We will feature your artistic profile on both our FOBANA Website and across all our social media platforms. This visibility will open doors for event organizers and program managers throughout North America to connect with you for potential performances within their programs. Once you've agreed to perform, you will assume full responsibility for coordinating all necessary arrangements and crafting a professional contract with the organizers. Please be aware that any financial or ethical obligations stemming from these contracts will rest solely upon you, and FOBANA will not be held liable for such matters.

FOBANA signed MOU with Dhaka University and Jagannath University in Bangladesh where students are being benefited throughout their academic years. For the last few years, we have been providing scholarships to North America College students in different states.
