The Nepali American Organization of Ohio (NAOO) is a non-profit social organization of Nepalis and friends of Nepal living in the State of Ohio. About 200 people comprise this diverse group of students, professionals, families and workers.

NAOO was started as Greater Columbus Nepali Community (GCNC) in 1999 to serve the Nepalis and friends of Nepal living in and around the Greater Columbus area. For four years, GCNC served as an independent volunteer-run organization.

It brought many people together by organizing various social and cultural programs. In February 2003, the executive committee of GCNC and the executive committee of Association of Nepalese in Midwest America (ANMA) agreed on making GCNC a local chapter of ANMA for Ohio.

NAOO has adopted the ANMA mission of promoting, coordinating, and facilitating close cooperation among Nepalis and friends of Nepal in North America, particularly in the Midwest Region of the United States, for maintaining and fostering Nepali identity and cultural heritage.
