National Italian American Foundation

The National Italian American Foundation aims to serve as a resource for the Italian American Community; to preserve the Italian American heritage and culture; to promote and inspire a positive image and legacy of Italian Americans; and to strengthen and empower ties between the United States and Italy.

NIAF is the major advocate in the Nation’s Capital for nearly 25 million Italian Americans, the country’s fifth largest ethnic group. NIAF also works with business and political leaders to strengthen cultural and economic ties between Italy and the United States. NIAF was founded in 1975 as a non-profit organization in Washington, D.C. It is entirely non-partisan.

As a membership-based and membership-funded organization, NIAF relies on your involvement to continue to develop programs well into the future. With your support, NIAF will continue to help our young leaders of tomorrow, today!
