FIND, Inc. was founded in 1992 when it was apparent that there was a need for a vehicle for East Coast Filipino and Filipino-American students to get together to talk about and celebrate the Filipino heritage. FIND, Inc. was created to unify Filipino student organizations in the East Coast in order for groups to cooperate and successfully create dialogue amongst one another.
It is estimated that there are approximately 1,000 students involved in FIND, Inc. Through electronic mail, FIND, Inc. has reached students in Canada, California, Michigan, Illinois, and Florida.
On June 30, 2000, FIND Inc. established itself as a corporation within the state of Pennsylvania and is recognized officially as the Filipino Intercollegiate Networking Dialogue (FIND), Inc. Today, the National Directors (NDs) are currently working on obtaining 501(c)(3) non-profit status.
