Mission Statement

The Polish Cultural Foundation, Inc. ("PCF") is a nonprofit public charity engaged in charitable, civic, social, cultural and educational activities. It is organized as a nonprofit corporation under Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 180 (Massachusetts Attorney General's Account Number - 037536), and it is exempt from federal taxation under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (Federal I.D. No. 04-3405334). The PCF relies primarily on volunteers to carry out its programs and, under its By-Laws, its directors and officers receive no compensation (except for the reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses) for service in such capacity.

The primary objectives and purposes of the PCF are (a) to engage in charitable and humanitarian activities generally, (b) to promote Polish culture, language, traditions, and history, (c) to support the interests of the Polish American community, (d) to establish a Polish cultural center, and (e) to conduct such other activities and programs in connection with or in furtherance of the foregoing purposes as may be carried out by a nonprofit, Section 501(c)(3) corporation. Since its establishment in January 1998, the PCF has carried out these purposes through a variety of programs and events. Participation in all of these activities are open to the public generally.
