OUR MISSION
The Foundation sponsors events that advance the presence of Polonia.
The Royal Eagle Foundation supports programs and projects that honor Polish heritage, preserve our shared history, and strengthen the connection between generations of Polish-Americans.
We help document, preserve, and share the story of Michigan’s Polish-American community — a story built by generations of families, churches, neighborhoods, organizations, and leaders who helped shape the state we know today.
We support efforts that celebrate the many ways Polish-Americans have contributed to Michigan and American society through culture, faith, service, civic leadership, and community life.
We help promote Polish language, art, literature, music, traditions, and cultural programs that keep Polish heritage vibrant, visible, and meaningful for future generations.
We support charitable efforts that help people in Poland who are facing hardship, including assistance with medical needs, clothing, food, shelter, and other essential support.
We believe Polish heritage should not only be remembered — it should be passed on. The Foundation supports programs and activities that help young people understand, appreciate, and take pride in their Polish identity, traditions, and accomplishments.

The Royal Eagle Foundation is located in the Detroit, Michigan metropolitan area, but we accept requests from throughout the United States and the World.
