Overview

Mission

To preserve Slovak heritage in the United States for the Slovak-American community. To promote Slovak cultural, scientific, and athletic activities at home and abroad. To familiarize the American public with Slovak culture, history, and current events in Slovak life. To publicly recognize and promote the achievements of Slovak-Americans in the United States and abroad.

What it reported doing in 2025

The Slovak Ball - since 1993, S-ACC has organized annual Slovak Balls, and also used them as an opportunity to recognize and honor people of Slovak origin for their significant achievements. The event is an opportunity for the community to gather, dance, and celebrate achievements. The event is considered to be the signature event of the organization. The event takes 50 percent of the Board time to organize. This year we hosted 377 people and included Slovak food, music, dancing, and a guest musical performer flow in from Slovakia. This is always the highlight of our year and brings in Slovaks both from across the United States and from Slovakia.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filed totals do not add up and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
