The Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association (CCBA) is one of the oldest organizations in Manhattan’s Chinatown. Founded in 1883 and modeled off clan affiliations in China, the CCBA essentially played a governing role in the Chinatown community. With the influx of different groups of Chinese immigrants over the 20th and 21st centuries, the hegemony of the CCBA has lessened as other benevolent associations reflecting a variety of political affiliations have cropped up. Now, the CCBA continues to serve the community of Chinese New Yorkers.
As declared in the CCBA’s doctrine, the Association aims to facilitate the integration of Chinese and Chinese Americans into mainstream American society by advocating for Chinese-American interests and promoting Chinese culture. In addition, the CCBA provides social services like youth programs, English classes, and other educational and leisure activities to the Chinese community.
中华公所（Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association，简称CCBA）是曼哈顿唐人街历史最悠久的组织之一。中华公所成立于1883年，效仿中国的宗族组织模式，在唐人街社区中发挥着重要的统治管理作用。随着20世纪和21世纪不同群体的中国移民的涌入，其他反映各种政治立场的团体也纷纷涌现，中华公所的霸主地位有所削弱。现在，中华公所仍然继续在为纽约华人社区服务。
中华公所的宗旨是通过倡导华裔美国人的权益和弘扬中国文化，促进华人和华裔美国人融入美国主流社会。此外，中华公所亦为华人社区提供青少年活动、英语课程及其他教育和康乐活动等社会服务。
