About Us

Organized in 2008, we are a chapter in the State of Arizona, USA, of the global Order of the Knights of Rizal. The Order was setup

by Republic Act No. 646 of the Philippine Congress.

Independently, we are an Arizona non-profit corporation with 501(c)(3) accreditation with the United States Internal Revenue Code.

As such, AZKOR, Inc. (Arizona Knights of Rizal, Inc) is a positive contribution of Filipino-Americans in Arizona to the enrichment

of the communities where we live.

We exist to keep alive and afresh the ideals and principles of Dr. Jose Rizal, national hero of the Philippines. These noble ideals seek

the full fruition of human potentials giving rise to self-respect and respect for others.

As a non-profit, we pursue charitable, scientific, educational and literary purposes
