The mission of the UNICO Foundation is to support charitable, scientific, educational, literary, and religious purposes, primarily through offering scholarships. As a 501(c)(3) Corporation, it focuses on accepting and making donations, grants, awards, and more. The Foundation's primary project involves granting scholarships, with over 40 awarded each year, along with making substantial grants to areas like Cooley’s Anemia, Mental Health Organizations, Italian Studies, cancer research & prevention, and food bank/shelter efforts.
The UNICO Foundation awards the DiMattio Celli Family Study Abroad Scholarship, which grants two scholarships valued at $1,250 each for study in Italy. This scholarship aims to support students wishing to further their education in Italy, thereby promoting cultural and educational exchange.
