National Ethnic Albanian American Foundation

The National Ethnic Albanian American Foundation is a small 501(c)(3) public charity based in Ossining, New York, registered as a tax-exempt organization with the IRS since January 1994. It operates as the charitable and educational arm of the Albanian American Civic League, a separate Ossining-based advocacy entity that lobbies in Washington on behalf of ethnic Albanian causes in the Balkans.

The foundation's stated mission, as filed with the IRS and listed on Candid, is to educate Americans about the Albanian people of the Balkans. It is categorized in nonprofit directories under education and Albanian schools, indicating a focus on public information and educational work tied to Albanian heritage and Balkan affairs rather than direct service programs in a single locality.

Financially, the foundation is modest in scale. It reported $33,661 in revenue in FY2024, and ProPublica's Nonprofit Explorer lists total assets of roughly $28,100 in its most recent available year. Mail is received at P.O. Box 70, Ossining, NY 10562, and the organization's EIN is 52-1622672.

Within the Albanian-American community, the foundation's role is defined by its pairing with the Civic League: the League handles advocacy in Washington, while the foundation carries the tax-deductible, educational side of that same mission. Its geographic base is Ossining, but the audience it addresses — Americans learning about ethnic Albanians from the Balkans — is national in scope.
