We are a group of people who share a love for Italian culture, cuisine, language, and heritage. We gather to reconnect with friends, meet new ones, celebrate our shared interests, and benefit our community in the DFW area. One of our primary goals is charitable works, by which we support other charitable organizations and provide a scholarship for students of Italian culture.
Mission
The Mission Statement of the Italian Club of Dallas:
To explore, preserve, and promote Italian culture, language, history, and traditions; perform charitable works; and foster social interaction within the community.

Needs
The primary focus of the North Texas Giving Day campaign is the Italian Club's scholarship program. This provides financial support for a student to explore Italian culture and traditions through study abroad programs through the Italian Language department at both the University of Dallas and at SMU. Our current funds allow a $1,000 scholarship/semester at each university. Our goal is to provide more support to increase the amount or the number of scholarship recipients.
We at the Italian Club of Dallas are proud of our Scholarship Fund Program and the recipients we have been able to support. Please give generously to our fund. 100% of all funds given on NTGD go to the ICD Scholarship Fund.
Our latest recipients will be attending the Rome campus in spring of 2026. Dr. Anthony Nussmeier Chair of Modern languages, Director of Italian Languages announced Peter "Pietro" Boris as the 2025 University of Dallas scholarship recipient.
Pietro is currently completing his freshmen year at the University of Dallas and has already declared a double major in Italian and English. Pietro has been a standout student in his Italian classes this year and garnered top honor among his peers. Pietro will be studying on the University of Dallas Rome campus 2025-2026
Pietro is the 8th recipient of an ICD Scholarship.
Dr. Daniele Forlino announced the first SMU recipient to receive the ICD $1000 award.
Maria Farrell is a first-year student with previous knowledge of Italian (studied in high school several years) and will minor in Italian. She is currently completing her 4th semester of Italian language and will study abroad with SMU in Tuscany this summer i a 5 week immersion program in Florence.
The ICD supports other charities through different events. Special Olympics - N. Texas is supported through our Annual Bocce Tournament held in October, usually at the DFW Italian Festival. 100% of Funds received from sponsors and donations from that event goes to Special Olympics. We have donated $5,000 in 2023 and $5,000 in 2024. In December, our holiday donations have gone to organizations like YMCA and Marine Toys for Tots.
We are always in need of volunteers to help us support our other charitable causes: Bocce Tournament/Festival in October, N Tx Special Olympics, and our scholarship program.
