The mission of Italian Charities of America is to serve as a resource to
the Italian American community.

Italian Charities of America is a 501c3 not-for-profit cultural organization and non-profit building that has been committed to serving the Italian American community since 1936. Our mission is to preserve and promote Italian and Italian American culture, heritage, history and achievements. In addition to promoting the Italian language we specialize in promoting and preserving the Regional Languages of Italy. We strive to teach, connect and celebrate our ancestral roots here in America.

Italian Charities of America offers Italian and Italian American programs and events as well as activities for the Italian American community and the benefit of the local surrounding communities, Queens and the greater New York City area. We provide annual college scholarships and support charitable causes throughout the year. Our work is made possible with the generous support and funding we receive.
