About the initiative

Count Me Albanian

National Albanian Registry

Vision

Count Me Albanian is a nationwide initiative to identify, register, and unite Albanians and their descendants living in the United States through a secure, voluntary, privacy-protected registry.

The goal is to establish the first credible, data-driven organization for Albanian demographic, economic, and educational advancement in the United States. This initiative is designed to function as a permanent national institution, not a temporary campaign.

For the first time, we will produce verified community data on:

  • Population size
  • Geographic concentration
  • Business ownership
  • Professional industries
  • Educational levels
  • Civic engagement

This data will power:

  • National advocacy
  • Scholarship funding
  • Business networking
  • Community visibility
  • Long-term institutional growth

Why this matters

Institutional Leverage

Without data, we lack measurable influence. With it, we gain advocacy strength.

Economic Visibility

Reliable data attracts funding and strengthens national business networks.

Generational Positioning

We are building a legacy document—the Albanian Impact Report—to serve as a resource for decades to come.

Albanians in America are:

  • Highly entrepreneurial
  • Highly educated
  • Economically impactful

Yet we lack:

  • Centralized data
  • National coordination
  • Unified representation
