About IWCC
Founded in 1919, the organization conducts philanthropic activities in the Greater Rochester Area and administrates the Dante Scholar Ship programs. Originally, the IWCC was established to educate immigrant women on their newly acquired right to vote and assist them in assimilating into American life. The mission of IWCC has evolved over the years and today focuses on supporting higher education opportunities for young adults of Italian ancestry.
