As we look ahead to 2026, the National Federation of Croatian American Cultural Foundation is preparing for an ambitious and meaningful year of cultural, educational, and diplomatic engagement. In the year ahead, NFCACF will initiate or expand involvement in:
Support the Croatian American Sports Hall of Fame Class of 2026.
Sponsorship of Croatia’s Special Olympics, in partnership with the Congressional Croatian Caucus.
Our ongoing History Series Webinars and the 3rd Induction Ceremony of the Croatian American Sports Hall of Fame in Cleveland on October 24.
A Joint Task Force with ACAP focused on advancing an Avoidance of Double Taxation Treaty between the United States and Croatia.
World Cup Soccer activities in Philadelphia (June 26–27).
Participation in the Diaspora Sports Games in Split and Brač in July, along with support for collaboration between Indiana University and the University of Split.
Donation of significant artworks to Croatian art museums.
Meaningful engagement with several Croatian-related projects in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
These priorities reflect our continued commitment to preserving Croatian heritage, strengthening U.S.–Croatia relations, and supporting initiatives that connect our diaspora across generations and borders.
Our ability to carry out this work depends on the active support of our community. We humbly invite you to renew your 2026 membership and continue your partnership through your time, talent, and treasure. Your membership and contributions directly sustain these cultural and diplomatic efforts and ensure that the Croatian American voice remains strong and unified.
On behalf of the Board of Directors, thank you for your continued commitment to our shared mission. We are grateful for your support and look forward to another impactful year together.
With appreciation,
Steve Rukavina
