設立過程
在海外聚集最多台灣移民的南加州，有許多熱愛關心台灣的鄉親。1998年，僑務委員王桂榮先生慷慨捐出位於洛杉磯郡柔斯蜜市的產業；萬通銀行總裁吳澧培先生為募款召集人，四十多個台灣社團及千位鄉親共同籌款達美金一百萬，於1998年六月十二日成立「南加州台灣會館基金會」，是一非營利機構，擁有「南加州台灣會館」主權，專責營運管理「南加州台灣會館」。透過台灣會館的運作，以宣揚台灣文化與傳統，促進台美人與外族裔相互間之溝通與了解為宗旨。2001年更名為「大洛杉磯台灣會館」。
History
The Taiwan Center Foundation of Greater Los Angeles is a non-profit organization. In February 1998, the family of Ken John Wang donated the property at the corner of Garvey Avenue and Walnut Grove Avenue in the city of Rosemead to the foundation to to become the future home of the Taiwan Center. Later that year, responding to Mr. Li-Pei Wu's ardent call for action, Southern California Taiwanese Americans held a million dollar fund-raising event to raise money for the establishment of the Taiwan Center. Mr. Li-Pei Wu was then elected to be the first chairperson of the Board of the Foundation.
