The Chinese American Heritage Foundation is a Boston, MA-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to identifying, verifying, documenting, and preserving the historical contributions of Chinese Americans to the United States. The organization serves as a comprehensive resource for recognizing and celebrating the cultural, economic, and social development achievements made by citizens of Chinese heritage throughout American history.

The Foundation's multifaceted approach includes organizing major cultural events such as the annual Greater Boston Lunar New Year Rolling Parade, hosting community forums on contemporary issues affecting Asian Americans, and providing educational programming that highlights Chinese American heritage. Through partnerships with community organizations, educational institutions, and civic leaders, the Foundation champions the contributions and cultural assets of all people while strengthening the nation's understanding of its diverse history. The organization welcomes collaboration and maintains an active presence in the Boston area, serving as a coordinating body for Chinese American community charitable and educational activities.
