An invitation to help build the Digital Piazza

Help build what the next generation will inherit.

The Alghini Institute began with a family vision: a welcoming place to preserve and share Italian American history, culture, and stories. Our work is already underway. Leadership gifts can help sustain that work in 2027.

Preserving memories

Continue improving the tools that help families record and organize oral histories with permission.

Accessible education

Maintain and expand our free research, genealogy, and heritage resources.

Responsible stewardship

Support the operating, security, editorial, and nonprofit infrastructure required for durable access.

A conversation about a meaningful gift

If you are considering a leadership gift of $1,000 or more, we welcome the opportunity to explain current programs, anticipated priorities, governance and reporting, and ways to give. No amount buys editorial influence, naming rights, story placement, or a guaranteed program result.

The Annual Fund is unrestricted. Public support totals include only verified gifts and documented approved employer matches; a proposed challenge or conversation does not count as money raised.

A gift to a registered nonprofit

Alghini Institute for Italian Americans is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. EIN: 99-0439703. Donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. Gifts support the Institute’s mission and are unrestricted.

A gift does not purchase a service, archive entry, or story publication. Donors may separately opt in to a name acknowledgment after their personal gifts are verified. Workplace giving receipts may come from the foundation that processes your company’s program.
