Celebrate Polish Heritage Month. Join the KF or Renew your Membership this October!

About the initiative

The Kosciuszko Foundation invites members of the Polish-American community and friends of Poland to celebrate Polish Heritage Month in October by joining the Foundation or renewing an existing membership. The initiative connects cultural celebration with support for the Foundation’s continuing work to strengthen Polish-American relations, promote Polish culture, and support educational and scholarly exchange.

What participation supports

Membership in the Kosciuszko Foundation helps sustain programs that connect the United States and Poland through education, culture, and community engagement. The Foundation’s work traditionally includes support for students, scholars, educators, artists, and cultural initiatives, as well as activities that preserve and share Polish heritage in the United States.

The October membership appeal encourages supporters to make a renewed commitment to Polish-American cultural life. Joining or renewing provides an opportunity to remain connected with the Foundation, participate in its programs, and contribute to initiatives that advance knowledge of Poland and strengthen ties between Polish and American communities.

Polish Heritage Month

Polish Heritage Month provides a dedicated period for recognizing Polish history, traditions, achievements, and contributions to American society. The month offers Polish-Americans and the wider public an opportunity to celebrate language, music, literature, art, scholarship, historical memory, and the continuing relationship between Poland and the United States.

The Kosciuszko Foundation’s October appeal places membership at the center of that observance. Rather than describing a single performance, lecture, or reception, the page presents participation in the Foundation itself as a way to mark the month and support Polish heritage throughout the year.

How to take part

Community members are encouraged to choose one of two actions:

• Join the Kosciuszko Foundation as a new member.
• Renew an existing Kosciuszko Foundation membership.

Membership-related participation is intended for people who want to support the Foundation’s mission and remain involved with its cultural and educational activities. The page does not provide a separate event schedule, venue, or single in-person program for this October initiative.

Hosting organization

The initiative is hosted by the Kosciuszko Foundation, an organization dedicated to fostering understanding and cooperation between Poland and the United States. Through its programming and support for academic and cultural exchange, the Foundation serves Polish-Americans, Americans interested in Poland, and participants in Polish-American educational and cultural life.

Program context

The membership campaign is presented as part of the broader celebration of Polish Heritage Month. Its focus is therefore both commemorative and ongoing: October provides the occasion to highlight Polish heritage, while membership helps sustain activities beyond the month itself.

The initiative reflects the role of community organizations in preserving heritage through active participation. Membership can help maintain a network of supporters, provide continuity for cultural and educational programs, and encourage new generations to learn about Polish history and the relationship between Poland and the United States.
