Besa Tampa Bay Inc

Besa Tampa Bay Inc is an Albanian-American cultural nonprofit based in Safety Harbor, Florida, registered with the state as a Florida nonprofit corporation and recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) public charity since January 2025. Its EIN is 33-2851304, and donations to the organization are tax-deductible. In federal classifications, it sits under arts, culture, and humanities, with an ethnic awareness focus.

The organization describes its purpose in plain terms on besatampabay.org: it is dedicated to serving the Albanian community in Tampa Bay by fostering cultural awareness and education. Its stated mission is to promote the heritage of Albania through events and programs that engage its members and the wider community.

The service area is the Tampa Bay region of west-central Florida, anchored from Safety Harbor in Pinellas County. A companion Facebook presence appears under the name "BESA - Building and Empowering Strong Albanian Heritage in Tampa Bay," consistent with the nonprofit's identity and mission.

Besa Tampa Bay is a young organization. Because no Form 990 has been filed yet, public records do not show financial detail, program rosters, or named officers, and independent press coverage has not appeared in standard databases. What is on the record is a registered Florida 501(c)(3) built specifically to gather and support Albanian families and friends of Albanian culture across Tampa Bay.
