The International Maronite Foundation has been formed to promote unity among the Maronites of the world, the universality of the Maronite Church, preserve Maronite identity, history and culture, and support educational and religious programs in support of our Maronite heritage and the Patriarchy. This organization is founded exclusively to carry out religious, charitable and educational goals, in particular as pertains to the Maronites of the world.

The International Maronite Foundation recognizes the Patriarch of the Antiochan Maronite Catholic Church as the father and head of the Church, and its members pledge to him loyalty and commitment to his guidance while supporting his efforts on behalf of people of all faiths, especially the Lebanese of all faiths, and his concern for peace, justice and the safeguard of freedom and human rights. We Maronites, reaffirm our perpetual allegiance to the Roman Catholic Church and our Holy Father, the -Pope in Rome.

Our specific Goals and Objectives are:

Establish and support an International Maronite Center that will include an international data bank of Maronite sources and resources, provide for an accurate and effective means of communication using state of the art technology, and provide a resource to Maronite writers, researchers and scholars.
Promote the universality of the. Maronite Church by developing and executing specific programs to educate Maronites on their common and rich heritage and the history of their church, develop international support for Maronites, strengthen activities for the preservation of the Maronite identity, tradition and values throughout the world, and develop a forum for exchange of information and communication in the Maronite Church community through publications and modern technology.
Establish and support scholarship, fellowship and research funds.
Develop an outreach program to contact the non-participating or estranged, and re-assimilate them into their Maronite tradition.
Promote improved relations with Western (Latin) Catholic parishes on the local level, encouraging respect for traditions in a pluralistic religious community without loss of identity.
Promote greater participation by Maronites in the political process.
Promote closer cooperation with other Eastern Churches
