The Sons of Italy Foundation® (SIF), OSDIA's philanthropic arm, has given nearly $112 Million to scholarships, medical research, cultural preservation, disaster relief, and other causes. The Commission for Social Justice® (CSJ), the anti-defamation arm of OSDIA, fights racism, prejudice, and the stereotyping of Italians and Italian Americans.
