Mongolian American
Strengthening ties between Mongolia and the United States through cultural exchange and cooperation.
Our mission
We aim to build and create open lines of communication between the different Mongolian NGOs and business entities that operate within the United States, and the communities that they serve.
We hope to create a unified front within the United States, that will inhibit the foreign policies of both the US and Mongolian governments, the hopes and dreams of Mongolian immigrants and first-generation Mongolian Americans by supporting the cultural, academic, and economical developments between our two great nations.
Current Initiatives in our communities.
Mongolian Schools in the United States serve as cultural sanctuaries for Mongolian-Americans, preserving the rich traditions, language, and history of Mongolia while fostering integration into American society. With over 14 schools across the U.S. and more than 60 globally, these institutions stand as pillars of heritage. Established in 2005 by the visionaries Nyamsuren Dash and Munguntsetseg Frankosky in the National Capital Area, the Mongolian School Initiative offers a unique blend of education. Students engage with Mongolian language, culture, history, and art in an environment that honors their roots, enabling them to maintain a strong sense of identity while thriving in a new world.
In the last two decades, Mongolian-Americans have not only thrived in their communities but have also made remarkable contributions to the U.S. economy. The entrepreneurial spirit of this community is exemplified in a wide range of industries, from marble and granite to construction, trucking, and beauty salons. These businesses stand out for their unwavering commitment to excellence, forged through a deep-rooted work ethic, professionalism, and a passion for delivering superior services. The competitive pricing and top-tier quality of Mongolian-owned businesses have earned them respect and admiration, allowing them to carve out a space in highly competitive markets.
The journey of Mongolian Americans in the United States is a story of resilience, transformation, and growth. It began in the 1960s when the first Mongolian immigrants, with roots in Inner Mongolia and Siberia, arrived in the U.S. Over time, this small, tight-knit community expanded with the arrival of Mongolians from the independent Republic of Mongolia in the late 1990s. Today, major cities such as Washington D.C., Chicago, Denver, San Francisco, and Seattle serve as hubs for Mongolian culture and business, where communities flourish and continue to grow. These cities have become home to thriving Mongolian-American populations who celebrate their heritage.
For over two decades, Mongolian students have benefited from prestigious scholarships funded by both the U.S. and Mongolian governments, embarking on a journey of academic achievement across America's most renowned universities. These bright young minds have enrolled in nearly every corner of the academic world, from Ivy League schools to top-ranked institutions, showcasing their intellectual rigor and determination. With degrees from prestigious institutions in hand, they have paved the way for future generations of Mongolian students, leaving a lasting legacy of excellence. Their academic journeys represent a story of ambition, vision, and the pursuit of knowledge.
