The NIFDA is a national trade organization that supports flag/flagpole manufactures and dealers. Every member of our organization only sells United States flags that are made in the US with US sourced materials.

The FMAA Scholarship Program is an annual program offering college scholarships to those enrolled in college or vocational school who have thoughtfully and creatively shared what the American flag means to them through original videos. 

Traditionally, the American flag has been a symbol of patriotism, freedom, and democracy.  

The FMAA Manufacturer Members have a genuine interest in hearing the meaning the American flag holds for America’s youth.  

The FMAA Scholarship Program gives high school seniors an opportunity to express their feelings regarding the flag and their own views on patriotism, as well as raising awareness of the “Made in the USA” issue.
