The Formosan Association for Public Affairs (FAPA) is a Washington, D.C.–based nonprofit organization that seeks to build worldwide support for Taiwan independence.
Its name "Formosan" refers to Taiwan's historical name of "Formosa", and its 44 chapters seek to advance the interests of Taiwanese people and communities around the world.
Their goals, which parallel those of FAPA, are: YPG hosts an annual national conference in DC, during which participants visit their Congressional representatives to voice concerns about the US-Taiwan relationship, as well as regional events throughout the year.
FAPA Canada was established originally as a chapter of the United States Formosan Association for Public Affairs in 1984, but was transformed into an independent organization in 1993.
activities of FAPA Canada include letter writing campaigns to Canadian Members of Parliament and press releases supporting Taiwan's sovereignty in the international arena.
