Tri-state Italian-american Congress

The Tri-State Italian-American Congress (Tri-State), formed in 1988, is a non-profit organization whose membership includes individuals active in Italian-American affairs in the tri-state area. Its purpose is to provide educational opportunities for Italian-American children, to support organizations and charities benefiting Italian-Americans and to support other programs and individuals with similar goals.

Since its inception, the Tri-State has provided scholarships for qualified students, has responded through the media to anti-Italian-American bias and has provided grants to other organizations for scholarships and Italian Studies Programs.
