Our Four Funds
NIAF Cares
We care about our community. For over twenty years, we have supported Special Olympics of Collier County Bocce. Last year, we also developed a relationship with the Gulf Coast High School Italian Honor Society. In the past, we’ve supported the Naples Neighborhood Health Clinic and Wounded Veterans Relief.
Help us fund and expand these programs and identify other opportunities to help our community. With sufficient funding, we may also institute a scholarship fund for students residing in Collier County.
Cultural Programming
Help support and expand our Cultural Programming. NIAF provides a wide array of cultural opportunities for our members and our community, including culturally themed dinners and events, an Italian movie series, an Italian topic lecture series, Italian language studies, bocce, and Italian festivals and celebrations of our national holidays.
Your support can help underwrite these programs and allow us to add additional programs, as well as allowing us to invite our junior members without charge.
Building Capital Fund
Our buildings and grounds are a crown jewel. They are our face to the community, and we want them to sparkle. They house our cultural programs, member events and our Special Olympics bocce.
Your donation to this fund will allow us to upgrade and modernize our facilities, beautify our grounds and, with sufficient funding, ultimately create an even larger and more significant complex on our property.
NIAF Scholarship Fund
Help deserving high school students from Collier and Lee counties take that first giant step towards a college education. Your donations can help establish and grow our two initial scholarships:
- The NIAF Emerging Leaders Scholarship – to encourage recipients to follow in the footsteps of NIAF’s own early leaders.
- The NIAF Memorial Scholarship recalls the memory of all the deceased members of NIAF throughout our history.
