Mission & Purpose


We believe the bonds of our heritage bring us together to be a part of something bigger than ourselves as individuals for the common cause of promoting Italian culture and raising money for other 501c3 organizations in Maryland. Our charitable giving focuses on the areas of education, family and child services, mental health, and addiction. Our reach has grown since 2013, and we believe we can touch countless more people with our increased charity work. You can become an important part of the mission we started!

The Society of Italian American Businessmen is a 501c3 charitable organization. Tax ID#: 46-2965362.

🎉 We are excited to share that the second $20,000 2024 Maryland Italian Festival Grant has been awarded to the University of Maryland, Baltimore School of Nursing for the Shari L Simone Scholarship, presented by the Society of Italian American Businessmen.

This grant will support a scholarship in memory of nurse and UMSON alumna Shari Simone, who passed away unexpectedly on July 8. To honor Shari's legacy, the Shari L. Simone Scholarship will support students in the @marylandnursing School's Pediatric Acute Care Nurse Practitioner Doctor of Nursing Practice Program. Graduates of this program provide family-centered and culturally respectful care for pediatric patients with acute, complex, critical, and chronic illnesses across a variety of care settings, working closely with an interprofessional team to provide the highest level of evidence-based care for infants, children, adolescents, and young adults. Collectively, our hope is that her memory and legacy will support future generations of much need pediatric nurse practitioners. Those in attendance accepting this award were Dean Yolanda Ogbolu and Associate Dean Stacey M. Conrad from the University of Maryland School of Nursing, and Shari’s Family.

Together, we’re making a difference in our community!

Happy Italian Heritage Month! Columbus Day in two weeks!!!!Happy Italian Heritage Month! 🇮🇹🇺🇸

First celebrated in 1989 by a special proclamation of both Congress and President George H. W. Bush, Italian Heritage Month is dedicated to recognizing the significant contributions Italian Americans have made to this country and the world throughout our history.

Did you know, over five million Italians immigrated to the United States between 1820 and 2000, and currently, there are over 20 million Americans of Italian descent residing in the United States, making Italian Americans the fifth largest ethnic group in America?

Stay tuned all month as we highlight and celebrate Italian excellence in America!
