The United Pugliesi Federation aims to foster the establishment and growth of relations between Pugliesi in the New York Metropolitan Area, the United States and the world.

One of the main goals of the Federation is that of improving and fostering the knowledge of Pugliesi traditions, language and culture, together with the study of the Italian language and history.

The Federation seeks to disseminate information through the media, the arts, and literature concerning Pugliesi and Italian subjects, for the education of its members and the general public.

The Federation encourages a broader and deeper understanding of the USA on the part of Pugliesi in Italy and of Puglia on the part of the U.S.A.

The Federation promotes the intellectual growth of its members, as well as their interest in civil, social, educational and political affairs.

The Federation acts as a liaison between the Pugliesi in Italy and the government of Regione Puglia, and the metropolitan area of New York, its government agencies, groups, and institutions, solely for charitable and educational purposes, as described in the Not for Profit Corporation Law.
