San Francisco Italian Athletic Club Foundation

Who we are

Più che cultura. Italianità

We are the San Francisco Italian Athletic Club Foundation—the nonprofit branch of the San Francisco Italian Athletic Club.
Through member engagement and community investment, we nurture Italian culture, commerce, and connection.
For over a century, we have brought together families, friends, and visitors, ensuring our community’s Italian culture and heritage continues to thrive for generations to come. 

What We Do

Fuel passion. Lead progress.

Driven by pride, we honor our Italian heritage, invest in our community, and keep Italian culture thriving in North Beach.
The Foundation exists to turn that pride into action, coordinating member giving, volunteering, and community participation. 

Thank you to everyone that contributed to our 2025 Annual Appeal!

Our 2025 Annual Appeal, led by Foundation President, Bill Isetta and SFIAC President Manuele LaTorre, raised money to 
support local youth programs and community events and  help revitalize North Beach. 
Our special initiative this year raised funds to permanently illuminate the iconic Saints Peter and Paul Church for generations to come.

Join us in 2026!

We are excited to host the upcoming community events in 2026:

May 6 - An Evening with Tony Vitello
May 11 - SF High School Sports Awards
June 6 & 7 - Festa Italiana
June 7 - 105th Annual Statuto Race
August 15 - SF Pizza, Bagel & Beer Festival

As a 501c3 organization, we depend on donations to carry out our programs all year round.
Your support will ensure that North Beach continues as the heart of the Italian community for generations to come.
All donations are tax deductible under EIN #94-3226838.
