What is the Italian American Cultural
Foundation?
We are an organization committed to preserving our Italian American
heritage through the education of our children. We work to implement
and develop programs which broaden the knowledge of the Italian culture,
heritage, and ethnic identity primarily at High Schools & Colleges in
Northeast Ohio. Our programs include essay and Italian language
awards incorporated in the curriculum of these schools.
Honoring the past and enriching the future is the mission of the
Italian American Cultural Foundation which recently celebrated its' 30th
Anniversary.
The IACF resolves to strengthen the
Italian American ethnic identity by cultivating understanding of our
fertile Italian heritage. To that end, it places libraries of Italian
American works in participating high schools and colleges. Students are
invited to select a text and submit an essay describing how the particular
book influenced their perspective and understanding of their Italian
American heritage.
The goal of the IACF is to educate by providing students with a
knowledge of the past, awareness of the present, and the tools to develop
a vision of the future.
