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.

At our February Monthly Meeting, we were proud to receive a generous donation from Saxon’s as part of their holiday campaign, where a percentage of purchases was donated back to SIAB.

We are incredibly grateful for community partners like Saxon’s who believe in our mission and actively support the charitable work we do throughout the year. Your partnership helps us continue making a meaningful impact in our community.

❤️ Happy Valenti

As we step into a new year, we’re proud to continue building on what matters most to us 🤍

At the heart of SIAB are four guiding pillars: Family, Heritage, Moral & Ethical Values, and Community. These principles shape everything we do—from preserving our Italian roots to supporting local charities, scholarships, and the families who make our community strong.

As SIAB leadership shares, “In 2026, our goal is to continue growing our impact while staying grounded in the values that brought us together—faith, family, and service.”

Here’s to another year of giving back, honoring our heritage, and strengthening the community we’re proud to call home. 🇮🇹✨
