American Albanian Education Foundation

The American Albanian Education Foundation is a small 501(c)(3) private foundation based in Glen Head, New York, on Long Island's North Shore. The IRS recognized it as tax-exempt in June 2018, and it operates under EIN 82-1710007 from an address on Wedgewood Court in Glen Head.

Its focus, as classified in IRS records, is education — NTEE code B12, covering educational institutions and fund distribution. Public directory listings describe it as a scholarship and education nonprofit, though the foundation does not maintain a public website, and no detailed mission statement, named scholarship program, or application process is documented in public filings.

The scale is modest. The most recent Form 990-PF shows roughly $252,000 in contributions to the foundation, about $256,000 in total assets, and $0 in grants paid out in that tax year, with no direct charitable activities reported in Part IX-A. In structure, it functions as a private non-operating foundation rather than a public-facing charity.

Governance, as surfaced in the 990-PF summary, lists Louis Foundos as a director, serving without compensation. No other officers or staff are identified in the available filings, and no press coverage, interviews, or community reviews of the foundation appear in the major nonprofit databases.
