Sons of Italy Foundation

The Sons of Italy Foundation® (SIF) is the philanthropic arm of the Order Sons of Italy in America® (OSIA), the oldest and largest organization for men and women of Italian heritage in the United States.

The SIF was founded in 1959 as a private, grant-making institution with the purpose of preserving Italian American culture, encouraging educational excellence among Italian Americans and improving lives in other areas. To date, the SIF has given $118 million to these efforts.

Recently, we awarded a $10,000 scholarship to Medal of Honor recipient Salvatore Giunta, presented $235,000 to help rebuild a center for children with autism in the heavily earthquake-damaged area of L'Aquila, Italy, and contributed $75,000 to the creation of the National 9/11 Memorial and Museum, with another $25,000 pledged.
