NAR is funded by Albanian-owned businesses and individual donors. No federal money. No paid staff. No data sales. The cost of running this — server time, domain, email, regional ambassador stipends, an annual Impact Report — is real, and it gets paid by people who want their community counted.
Five tiers. Honest benefits at each one. The Founding Sponsors wall is capped at 25 — when it's full, it's full.
Who sponsors
Albanian American business owners — pizzerias, construction firms, real estate brokerages, healthcare practices, distribution and trucking, accounting firms, dental practices, restaurants. Plus individual donors and Albanian American families who want to be on the founding wall.
We do not accept sponsorship from political parties, foreign government entities, or businesses outside the United States.
Tiers
