FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION

The balzekas museum of lithuanian culture is dedicated to the perservation and perpetuation of lithuanian culture. Through our exhibits, classes, seminars, projects, and intercultural programs we celebrate the achievements of lithuanian americans, the lithuanian nation, and lithuanian communities worldwide.

Form 990, Page 2, Part III, Line 4A

We operate an ethnic heritage museum and provide educational programming such as classes, workshops, seminars & intercultural exchanges. Our museum houses the largest collection of lithuanian cultural artifacts outside of lithuania and serves 3,000 active members plus numerous visitors. Our collections, periodicals, and library are sought out internationally for scholarly research. After 2 mandated pandemic closures in 2020, we are pleased to report that the museum resumed in-person programming including its annual award dinner and concert in 2021. However, annual trips to lithuania were still suspended due to covid-related travel restrictions to that country. Genealogy research services, language classes, and book club presentations were conducted both online and in-person. We resumed exhibition tours and continued digitizing our collections, including an extensive film and photographic archive. We also provided space for socially distanced senior and youth programs in our immediate neighborhood.

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0THE BALZEKAS MUSEUM OF LITHUANIAN CULTURE IS DEDICATED TO THE PERSERVATION AND PERPETUATION OF LITHUANIAN CULTURE. THROUGH OUR EXHIBITS, CLASSES, SEMINARS, PROJECTS, AND INTERCULTURAL PROGRAMS WE CELEBRATE THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF LITHUANIAN AMERICANS, THE LITHUANIAN NATION, AND LITHUANIAN COMMUNITIES WORLDWIDE.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1WE OPERATE AN ETHNIC HERITAGE MUSEUM AND PROVIDE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMING SUCH AS CLASSES, WORKSHOPS, SEMINARS & INTERCULTURAL EXCHANGES. OUR MUSEUM HOUSES THE LARGEST COLLECTION OF LITHUANIAN CULTURAL ARTIFACTS OUTSIDE OF LITHUANIA AND SERVES 3,000 ACTIVE MEMBERS PLUS NUMEROUS VISITORS. OUR COLLECTIONS, PERIODICALS, AND LIBRARY ARE SOUGHT OUT INTERNATIONALLY FOR SCHOLARLY RESEARCH. AFTER 2 MANDATED PANDEMIC CLOSURES IN 2020, WE ARE PLEASED TO REPORT THAT THE MUSEUM RESUMED IN-PERSON PROGRAMMING INCLUDING ITS ANNUAL AWARD DINNER AND CONCERT IN 2021. HOWEVER, ANNUAL TRIPS TO LITHUANIA WERE STILL SUSPENDED DUE TO COVID-RELATED TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS TO THAT COUNTRY. GENEALOGY RESEARCH SERVICES, LANGUAGE CLASSES, AND BOOK CLUB PRESENTATIONS WERE CONDUCTED BOTH ONLINE AND IN-PERSON. WE RESUMED EXHIBITION TOURS AND CONTINUED DIGITIZING OUR COLLECTIONS, INCLUDING AN EXTENSIVE FILM AND PHOTOGRAPHIC ARCHIVE. WE ALSO PROVIDED SPACE FOR SOCIALLY DISTANCED SENIOR AND YOUTH PROGRAMS IN OUR IMMEDIATE NEIGHBORHOOD.
