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.
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.
La Missione del Circolo Italiano di Dallas:
Conoscere, conservare e diffondere la cultura Italiana, la lingua, la storia e le tradizioni; fare opere benefiche; promuovere i rapporti sociali all'interno della comunita
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 the University of Dallas. Our current funds allow a $1,000 scholarship/semester. Our goal is to provide more support to increase the amount or the number of scholarship recipients.
Here are some comments on the 2022-23 scholarship winner: “The recipient of the ICD Scholarship at the University of Dallas for 2022-2023 is more than worthy. Phoebe Jones is one of the more versatile students of Italian that we can remember. A double major in Italian and Math (!), she also was heavily involved in drama and set design, editing and writing, and a whole host of other activities. The ICD award will help her to complete her senior thesis on Dante’s treatment of women in his epic “Commedia,” specifically to explore the question of the “ideal” woman vs. the “perfect” woman. Congratulazioni, Phoebe!” - Dr Anthony Nussmeier Head of the Italian Language Department at University of Dallas
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.
Any extra funds will be distributed to our other charitable causes: Children's Craniofacial Association and N. Texas Special Olympics.
We are always in need of volunteers to help us support our other charitable causes: CCA, N Tx Special Olympics, and our scholarship program.
