The Scottish Coalition

New York

The Foundation, recognizing the benefit of collaborating with the public and private sectors to accomplish mutually agreed-upon goals the Scottish-American community, has worked hard to establish its credibility with these groups.

 

At the Caledonian Foundation USA, Inc.'s 20th Anniversary meeting in Sarasota, Florida in 1996, The American-Scottish Foundation, Inc. called for a national organization to represent Scotland's interests in the UN. This call resulted in the formation of the Scottish Coalition, an informal body that seeks to coordinate activities and minimize duplication. To date, its most significant achievement, with the help of a local sponsoring committee in Washington DC, is the establishment of April 6th, in perpetuity, as National Tartan Day.

 

Members of the Coalition are:

  • The American-Scottish Foundation, Inc.
  • Association of Scottish Games & Festivals
  • The Caledonan Foundation USA, Inc.
  • Council of Scottish Clans & Associations, Inc.
  • The Living Legacy of Scotland, Inc.
  • Scottish Heritage USA, Inc.
