About Us

The Arizona Malayalees Association represents people from the gorgeous South Indian state of Kerala who have come to Arizona for various reasons. The language spoken by those from this tropical paradise is called Malayalam — hence the people from Kerala are called Malayalees. Kerala is a land of unsurpassed beauty, with tropical jungles, lush mountains, sparkling beaches, and is an eco-tourist's ultimate destination.

We are the oldest secular Malayalee organization in Arizona and have built a solid network among the Malayalee population through programs, cultural events, and more. The association aims to provide a forum that represents the great culture of Kerala and a source for Malayalees to connect with one another.

Arizona Malayalees is headquartered in Phoenix, AZ, and is a 501(c)(3) organization. EIN: 04-3689201. Donations are tax-deductible. The IRS' NTEE classification is Cultural, Ethnic Awareness within the Arts, Culture and Humanities category.
