NOIA
Northern Ohio Italian American Foundation
ABOUT US
The Northern Ohio Italian American (NOIA) Foundation is the region’s premier organization dedicated to supporting the community in ways that celebrate Italian heritage. The organization is comprised of passionate Italian Americans, including distinguished leaders, whose reach extends to the highest levels of business, community and philanthropy.
GIVING
The NOIA Legacy Fund is a highly impactful way our organization fulfills its mission to preserve our Italian heritage and support initiatives associated with our Italian American ideals. The program’s five strategic funding initiatives are education, Italian parishes, Italian culture, Little Italy, and project/impact grants. The funds not only benefit our local Italian American community, our purposeful giving and positive outcomes fuel a deep sense of pride amongst our dedicated membership. Funding is derived from NOIA membership contributions in addition to individual philanthropic contributions.
