Description

CSCC is a non-profit organization according to 501(c)(3), 509(a)(1) and 170(b)(1)(A)(vi).

The founding inspiration for the Czech and Slovak Cultural Center of Minnesota was provided by the former Czech President Vaclav Havel during his visit to Minnesota in 1999. CSCC was legally incorporated in the State of Minnesota in February 2001 and full public operation of CSCC started in November 2002.

The Czech and Slovak Cultural Center of Minnesota does not have a building. Czechs, Slovaks, those with Czech and Slovak heritage and those with no Czech or Slovak heritage who have an interest meet regularly to help educate others about the modern Czech and Slovak Republics.
