About Italian Cultural & Community Center of Houston
The Italian Cultural & Community Center of Houston (ICCC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1976 that serves as an umbrella and cultural hub for Italian-American clubs and Italophiles across the Greater Houston area. ICCC operates the historic Milford House in Houston’s Museum District and runs La Scuola d’Italiano (the Italian Language School), year‑round cultural programming, film series, wine and culinary events, lectures, children’s activities and community celebrations. Research confirms the EIN 76-0040419 corresponds to this organization (tax-exempt since 1983). In recent years ICCC has focused on Milford House preservation (the house marked its 100th anniversary in 2023), continued scholarship awards (including a Spring 2025 study‑abroad scholarship), and ongoing language and public programs; the organization reported multi‑hundred‑thousand dollar annual revenues and over a million dollars in assets on recent Form 990 filings, reflecting sustained operational activity and community engagement.
