SPECIAL NOTICE ABOUT NIAF GRANTS

Given the ongoing economic downturn, and the volatility of global markets, the National Italian American Foundation has reduced its grants budget.

As of now, all applications received for the May 2009 and the November 2008 Grant cycles are on hold and will be considered once funds become available. More information regarding upcoming grant applications will be available in February 2010.

During these challenging times, NIAF remains committed to working with you, to do the best we can together, for the Italian American community.

Thank you for your understanding.
