Who are we and what do we do?

The Valtarese Foundation, Inc. is a charitable organization that was established in 1991 by Italian-Americans with roots in the Val di Taro region of Italy’s Emilia-Romagna. The Foundation’s mission is to assist the people of the Val di Taro by raising funds for medical equipment for hospitals, providing resources for elderly centers, and donating to various volunteer associations within the region. Scholarships are awarded to young adults in their last year of high school in the United States and in Italy. The Foundation is incorporated under Section 402 of the Not-for-Profit Corporation Law of the State of New York, and donations are fully tax deductible at the federal, state, and local levels.
