Striving to promote Chinese culture, respect and honor ancestors, promote civic engagements and advance social justice.
For generations, the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association (CCBA) of Fresno has served as a cornerstone of the Chinese American community in California’s Central Valley. Dedicated to preserving Chinese heritage, fostering community connections, and promoting cultural understanding, CCBA brings people together through educational programs, cultural celebrations, scholarships, community service, and historic preservation. As a nonprofit organization, we proudly honor the contributions of past generations while inspiring future generations to celebrate their heritage and strengthen the diverse community we all share.

We want to foster an atmosphere of support for other local Chinese based organizations by announcing or publicizing events that they may host. And we want to share knowledge of Chinese culture with whomever may peruse the CCBA Newsletter.
