OSIA is the acronym for the Order Sons of Italy in America, the largest and longest-established Italian-American organization in the country (founded in 1905). Its purpose is to enrich Italian heritage nationwide through programs in education, cultural preservation, grass-roots initiatives, charitable fundraising, and by strengthening the ties between the U.S. and Italy. These initiatives are worked on by OSIA along with its two subsidiaries, its philanthropic arm, the Sons of Italy Foundation (SIF) and its anti-defamation arm, the Commission for Social Justice (CSJ). OSIA members are active on national, state, and local levels, as well as via their interaction here in our new online community, One Stop Italian America, OSIA's official website.

The OSIA National Office is located in the Capitol Hill area of Washington, DC at 219 E Street, NE, Washington, DC 20002
