Mission Statement

The mission of the Pan-Pontian Federation of USA and Canada is to preserve, promote and ensure the enduring continuity of Pontian Hellenism for generations to come. In close partnership with its member associations the Federation is committed to safeguarding and revitalizing the rich cultural heritage, language, history, traditions and values that define the Pontian Greek identity.

We are dedicated to developing, supporting and advancing educational, historical, cultural, religious, social and humanitarian programs that foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of Pontian heritage among present and future generations. Through cultural events, community outreach, educational initiatives and collaborative programs we seek to strengthen the bonds of the Pontian diaspora and ensure that our heritage remains a vibrant and integral part of the broader Hellenic identity.

A central pillar of our mission is the recognition, remembrance and preservation of the history of the Greek Genocide. The Federation serves as a leading voice in raising awareness of the persecution and atrocities committed against the Greeks of Pontos, Asia Minor and Thrace during the early twentieth century. Through advocacy, scholarship, education and public engagement we pursue greater recognition and historical accountability while promoting a deeper understanding of these events. In honoring the memory of our ancestors we are committed to ensuring that their experiences are never forgotten and that the lessons of history help prevent such tragedies from ever happening again.

Rooted in resilience, unity, remembrance and cultural pride the Pan-Pontian Federation of USA and Canada stands as a steadfast advocate for the preservation and advancement of Pontian Hellenism throughout North America and beyond. Through collective action and a commitment to future generations we strive to protect our heritage, strengthen our identity and ensure that the legacy of Pontian Hellenism continues to thrive for generations to come.
