CREATING OPPORTUNITIES – PRESERVING HERITAGE
JOIN US IN ACHIEVING OUR MISSION GOALS
Recognizing the incredible impact that our Italian heritage has had on our lives and its contribution to our individual successes, we the Members of the Columbus Citizens Foundation dedicate ourselves to preserving and enhancing the culture, traditions and values we were so blessed to receive. Furthermore, we will commit to honor those that came before us by ensuring that their love of country, family and tireless work ethic are passed to our children and all future generations. We firmly commit to raise and distribute financial aid to educate children in need and pledge to extend ourselves in perpetuating the philanthropic work that has been synonymous with our Foundation.
Scholarship Programs
A contribution to our general scholarship fund provides invaluable tuition assistance to deserving students of Italian descent. A gift of any amount ensures our continuing investment in the education of our CCF Scholars. We honor our Members and friends who have graciously pledged to our Scholarship Program by funding scholarships, serving on Scholarship Committees, and mentoring students through our Career Chats and other programs that assure scholarship recipients that they have joined our family.
