The Albanian Heritage Foundation, established in 2023 by a dedicated group of 12 board members. We are committed to preserving and promoting Albanian culture in Columbus, Ohio. Under the current leadership of President Dukagjin Blakaj and Vice President Kris Bifsha, the foundation has quickly become a vital hub for the local Albanian community. With a mission to empower and unite Albanians, the organization fosters a vibrant and inclusive environment that celebrates the rich cultural heritage of its members. In recognition of the essential role education plays in cultural preservation, the foundation launched the Albanian Heritage School in June 2024. The school currently serves approximately 28 students and reflects the foundation’s dedication to nurturing identity and pride among Albanian youth.
