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 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. Learn more by attending and participating in our many events, e.g., photo exhibits, speaker presentations and quarterly newsletter.

In 2011 NSAF has widened its scope herefore limited mostly to California by living up to our "National" name and adding a Washington D.C. office headed up by Melo Cicala a member of NSAF, recently elected to the Board, and a Vice President of the Foundation who has been named Executive Director of the Washington D.C., National Office, with the responsibility to direct the operations of that office and have also expanded our mission to the promotion of the Sicilian culture by facilitating the loan of Italian Teachers to U.S. schools and fostering exchange students both to and from Italy.

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