Welcoming You Home For Over 20 Years
Globally Connected, Locally Active.
FAUSA is the social and philanthropic network for former FAWCO club members and others repatriating to the United States and Canada.
Our members maintain overseas friendships through participation in local and virtual groups, and our annual meeting, while continuing to participate in FAWCO and The FAWCO Foundation activities, teams and boards.
We support those who have repatriated in experiencing the joys, challenges and changes involved in returning home.
We award FAUSA’s Annual Philanthropy Grant to a philanthropic project in the Americas.
We are eligible to apply for The FAWCO Foundation’s Education Awards and propose projects for The FAWCO Foundation’s Development Grants and Target Programs.
