NIAF’s mission is to honor our heritage and empower the next generation of Italian American leaders. NIAF awards generous grants and scholarships to hundreds of extraordinary Italian Americans each year; supports the inception of Italian curricula and extracurricular clubs on college campuses across the country; and sends an exceptional group of Italian American students to Italy every summer for first-time, all-expenses-paid heritage travel. NIAF also advocates for the Italian American community on Capitol Hill; and serves as a bridge for strengthening the governmental, economic and cultural ties between the United States and Italy.
