The mission of FIA is to promote Filipino-American social, cultural, academic, and charitable services to the University of Illinois at Chicago community and more specifically to establish programs and organization for the continued growth and development of the Filipino-American community. FIA shall abide by its constitution and bylaws.

As more and more Filipino Americans grow up in the United States with limited understanding of their roots, Filipinos in Alliance strives to educate others in the hopes that one may gain a sense of identity by realizing their own heritage, as well as the hardships of their ancestors before them, all in a friendly environment with people like themselves. With that goal in mind, we believe in building a sense of belonging and unity with other Filipinos by working together through numerous events and activities to reach as many members in our community that we possibly could. We strongly believe that by creating a combined effort, and through dedicated teamwork, we can make a difference – as Filipinos in Alliance.
