Mission: An all-volunteer, non-profit, tax-exempt 501(c) (3) fundraising organization, the PSF seeks to increase the number and value of its scholarships through organizing public events that promote Polish culture, heritage, history and traditions. In recent years, we have reached out to the surrounding Syracuse community and Poles throughout the state.
The Polish Festival in Syracuse’s Clinton Square has become the largest cultural event in the history of the Polish community in Central New York.
We believe that helping talented students succeed and promoting the Polish culture are worthy goals. Thank you for your support in helping us achieve them.
