Albanian Heritage Foundation Of The Tampa Bay Area Inc

The Albanian Heritage Foundation of the Tampa Bay Area is a small nonprofit based in Clearwater, Florida, with a mailing address in nearby Largo. It describes itself on its Facebook page as a nonprofit dedicated to preserving Albanian traditions, culture, and values across the Tampa Bay area.

The organization is registered as a Florida nonprofit corporation (document number N12000005315) and is recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) public charity under EIN 45-5421806. Its IRS tax-exempt status was determined in August 2021.

It operates at a modest scale. The IRS-reported annual revenue is $11,731, and the foundation files a Form 990-EZ; its 2023 return, received by the IRS on November 1, 2024, reported $0 in grants paid, consistent with a group that runs its own cultural activities rather than funding outside organizations. In earlier years it filed the 990-N e-Postcard used by the smallest charities.

The foundation's primary public presence is its Facebook page, "Albanian Heritage Foundation of Tampa Bay – AHFT," which is where it shares updates with the local Albanian-American community. It is one of the Albanian organizations indexed in the National Albanian Registry directory, representing the diaspora's footprint on Florida's Gulf Coast.
