National Sicilian American Foundation

The National Sicilian American Foundation is a non-profit organization, committed to serving the community and educating the public about Sicilian culture. In 1997, our Founder, Frank Bonfiglio started this foundation and worked very hard to create a place where one can find “Equality and Unity with Dignity”, our foundation motto. We invite you to share our Sicilian heritage through cultural and social events and exchanges. Learn more by attending and participating in our many events, e.g., photo exhibits, speaker presentations and quarterly newsletter.

We also collaborate with many Italian organizations such as the Instituto Italiano di Cultura; The Museo Italo Americano; as well as the Italian Consul General. Check the Links page for more information.
