2022 ANNUAL APPEAL

Dear members and friends of the American Italian Heritage Museum,

As always, we want to thank you for your continued support and generosity. Our 2021 appeal
was a great success! Over $20,000 was raised. The funds were used to keep our buildings up to
par, as well as for the many programs and activities we offer. Our dues and museum admittance
cover around 50% of operations. The other 50% comes from fundraising and appeals. Our dues
are kept low as to be affordable for everyone.

This year we hope to raise $30,000 for our general operating funds. These funds are needed in
order to continue our mission of providing great programs of educating our community and the
public on the contributions of the Italian Immigrants to America and the dispelling of the
stereotypes that have been perpetuated in our history. Some of these programs include
cooking shows, language classes, monthly meetings featuring diverse speakers, etc.

Your donation, no matter how small will help to ensure that we can continue with our programs
and keep our mission alive— We hope we can count on you once again for this great endeavor!
As always, 100% of the funds raised for this appeal will go to the Museum--

Our Tree of Life  is prominently displayed in our lobby and we encourage you to conside purchasing a leaf or a plaque in memory of a loved one.
Your contribution is greatly appreciated and tax deductible.

Sincerely,
Prof/Cav. Philip J. DiNovo, President
