Our Mission

The Italian American Human Relations Foundation of Chicago was founded for the purpose of improving the civic, social and educational welfare of Italian Americans as well as members of all ethnic groups. The fundamental purpose of the foundation is based on the philosophy that the standard of the community will be elevated through a better understanding and mutual respect of all people. Intolerance and stereotyping have no place in this country. Harmony can only be acheived when all citizens obtain a higher understanding and appreciation of the ethnic diversity which is distinctive to our country and is especially unique in Chicago.
