About N.S.A.F.

The National Sicilian American Foundation is a non-profit international organization, committed to serving the community and educating the public about Sicilian culture. In 1997, our President, Frank Bonfiglio started this foundation and has 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. Personally get to know us, learn more by attending and participating in our many events, i.e., photo exhibits, speaker presentations, quarterly newsletter and homemade Italian-Sicilian dishes.

National and international exchanges with other organizations help us to reach many Americans, with or without Sicilian heritage, find the social and professional connections to succeed in life.

We are very proud of our members because they have given the gift of love and caring through their donations of money, time and service. Senior citizens have enjoyed our monthly sing-a-longs, and needy children and families in our community have benefited greatly from the many donations and fund-raising events we have given for them.

Championed by President Frank Bonfiglio and N.S.A.F. Officers, Directors and dedicated members, they collaborate with many Italian organizations such as the Instituto Italiano di Cultura; The Museo Italo Americano; and Sicilia Mondo, as well as the Italian Consul General.

We encourage our members to visit the Museo Italo Americano, located in Fort Mason, San Francisco, CA. Please visit their web site at:

  http://www.museoitaloamericano.org

They feature many outstanding Italian cultural exhibits, Sicilian American people, tradition and culture.
