Albanian-American Cultural Foundation

The Albanian-American Cultural Foundation is a small grantmaking nonprofit registered in Hartsdale, New York, operating under EIN 13-3770218. The IRS recognized it as a 501(c)(3) public charity in April 2015, and recent Form 990 filings report annual revenue of roughly $3,000, placing it among the smaller Albanian-American foundations tracked in NAR's directory.

Its stated mission, consistent across GuideStar, CauseIQ, ProPublica, and other nonprofit registries, is to provide funding for higher education in the United States for Albanians and others of Albanian descent. The foundation functions as a scholarship and grantmaking vehicle rather than as a local cultural center with a public meeting space.

A community directory listing under the same name describes a broader program history: scholarships for Albanian students at U.S. universities, support for Albanian studies and academic symposiums, publication of books on Albanian subjects (including work tied to Ulqin, Montenegro), and sponsorship of lectures, exhibits, films, concerts, and literary events that connect Albanian-American audiences with Albanian-populated regions of the Balkans.

The Hartsdale registration is the foundation's address of record in IRS data; the directory entry does not indicate Hartsdale-specific local programming. Current officers and the founding year are not disclosed in the public profiles reviewed, and the organization keeps a low public-media profile, documented mainly through nonprofit registries and Albanian community directories.
