About Us

The Scandinavian Heritage Foundation is a non-profit organization representing Americans of Nordic descent from Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden who live in Oregon and Southwest Washington. Scandinavians are the second largest ethnic group in our region with 500,000 people living in Oregon.

SHF is fulfilling its mission presently in a number of ways with programs, events and lectures offered to the general public. SHF has also created a linkage with other Scandinavian organizations through having affiliate memberships on the Board of Directors.

The Foundation publishes a newsletter which is available in Adobe Acrobat format for download.
