As we have done many times before with your support, the Sons of Italy Foundation (SIF) has set up an Earthquake Relief Fund to help the Italy recover from these disasters. All donations to this fund are tax-deductible.
The SIF will be working directly with the Embassy of Italy to direct funds to emergency relief, recovery and/or rebuilding as requested by the Italian Government.
