About This Cause

The American Druze Foundation (ADF) is proudly dedicated to the study, preservation, and celebration of the Druze cultural heritage in America. Cultural history shapes who we are and enriches our lives. The ADF celebrates the Druze heritage by advancing a deeper understanding of the Druze history & values through academic research, and supporting the American Druze community through education, investments, and sociocultural projects and events. The ADF was established and incorporated as a nonprofit in 1989 by a group of pioneer American Druze who saw what did not yet exist for the their community. They dreamt of an organization that could help protect their community and culture for the long-term. They acted with determination and selflessness to create a new pillar for the Druze community in America. The ADF aims to: 1. Create and support comprehensive publishing, scholarships, research, and educational programs about the Druze, that meet high academic standards and serve to expand the available base of contemporary English language, educational materials, and publications concerning the Druze, and present the Druze people, scholars, historians, and the general public with a true image of the Druze heritage, culture, history and values. 2. Establish and manage a permanently endowed institution which aims at developing a deeper understanding and appreciation of the cultural heritage of the Druze people, as well as preserving and enhancing its traditions within the Druze communities in the United States. Those aims are achieved through the establishment and/or sponsorship of a wide variety of programs and activities. 3. Help establish Druze cultural centers across the United States, as well as libraries designed to become prime sources of information and reference repositories of Druze heritage and cultural literature, as well as historical documents and artifacts.
