Albanian American Cultural And Islamic Center Inc

The Albanian American Cultural and Islamic Center, also known as "Hasan Prishtina," is a nonprofit religious and cultural center for Albanian-American Muslims in Waterbury, Connecticut. It operates out of 106 Columbia Blvd and runs the website aacic-ct.org.

The center serves a dual role as both a mosque and a community gathering space. Albanian and Islamic directories consistently classify it under Albanian Islamic centers, while local Waterbury sources list it among the city's main Albanian cultural institutions. The "Hasan Prishtina" name attached to the center honors the early 20th-century Kosovar Albanian political leader, reflecting the cultural identity the center maintains alongside its religious work.

Waterbury is home to one of Connecticut's most established Albanian-American populations, and the center sits within a small cluster of Albanian organizations in the city. It is a separate entity from the Albanian American Muslim Community on Raymond Street, which operates its own mosque and website.

Charity Navigator records the organization as a religious nonprofit under EIN 22-2989701, headquartered in Waterbury. The center maintains a Facebook presence under the "Hasan Prishtina" name, where it identifies itself simply as a nonprofit organization at the Columbia Boulevard address.
