Albanian American Cultural Center of Western Massachusetts

The Albanian American Cultural Center of Western Massachusetts is a small, newly recognized nonprofit based in Agawam, MA. The IRS granted the organization 501(c)(3) public charity status in July 2025 under EIN 39-2246911, classified in the Arts, Culture & Humanities category (NTEE code A23, Cultural and Ethnic Awareness).

According to its registry description, the center is dedicated to promoting and preserving Albanian culture and heritage within the community, and serves as a hub for cultural events and activities that celebrate Albanian traditions. The name signals a regional focus on Western Massachusetts, home to a smaller share of the state's Albanian-American population than the Greater Boston area.

The organization is listed among the Albanian-American groups in Massachusetts tracked by the National Albanian Registry, alongside entities such as the Massachusetts Albanian American Society BESA in Greater Boston. It is categorized there as a cultural and community organization.

Because the charity received its IRS ruling in 2025, no Form 990 has been posted publicly yet, and officer and board information is not disclosed in the available nonprofit records. There is no website, phone number, or social media account on file for the Agawam entity at this time. Readers should note that a separately incorporated Albanian American Cultural Center in Riverdale, New Jersey (EIN 11-2441884, tax-exempt since 1987) is a different organization and unrelated to the Western Massachusetts nonprofit.
