About Us
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. More than 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.
As a not-for-profit social/charitable organization the objectives are:
- to coordinate, facilitate, and promote social and charitable activities among its
members and friends;
- to provide aid and help to its members and friends;
- to preserve, nurture, and promote Nepalese culture and heritage;
- to strengthen and foster relationships with other Organizations with similar objectives.
