Columbus Citizens Foundation
Columbus Citizens Foundation, or CCF, is a non-profit organization celebrating Italian American heritage and achievement. Since 1929, the Foundation has sponsored a wide variety of philanthropic and cultural activities. Our largest program provides scholarships to deserving Italian American students and has raised nearly $40 million since its inception to support the academic careers of thousands of students. We also organize the annual Columbus Day Parade in New York City.
