Greetings from the Italian Genealogical Group!
This year the IGG is celebrating our 30th anniversary as a non-profit organization by organizing a virtual Italian Genealogy Conference on November 16. The IGG is dedicated to helping people find their Italian roots. Though we are based in NY, we have a worldwide membership and audience reach.
What we do:
As a non-profit 501 (c)(3), the IGG offers free monthly public webinars led by top historians, authors, and genealogists; scholarships to students, and a monthly newsletter to our membership. We also maintain a free public searchable index to NYC Municipal Archives or FamilySearch vital records and other important genealogical records. We publish books on Italian families, organize community events, and offer expert assistance to those who would like help finding their Italian roots.
As a non-profit, money from any of our events help fund our public programming, digitization projects, database support, and maintaining the organization's online presence.
We would be honored to partner with your organization for mutually beneficial promotional efforts.
What this means for you:
We have a Facebook following of 14.5K and 1,200 members all over the U.S.,as well as Canada, Europe, and Australia. We will include your organization's name and logo and a thank you for helping promote us on our FB page as well as in our monthly newsletters, at our meetings, and at the IGG's conference-- which will be seen by our large following.
Please consider posting our event on your calendar or sending information to your members to help us in our efforts to continue our free programs.
The Conference (Nov 16, virtual on Whova app).
Conference speakers are from all over the U.S. and worldwide. We offer 25 unique lectures on Italian heritage, cultural history, DNA, Jewish-Italian research, research methods, case studies, records, and more! Posters and other information are available on our website, along with conference info and registration links.
Consider being a sponsor and your organization's logo & branding will be prominently displayed on the conference app, in our video trailers, on specific speaker lectures, and more. If you are interested in learning about sponsorship benefits, reach out and we would be grateful for the support.
