Fondazione Cariplo is a grant-making foundation: it provides its resources for the implementation of projects and programmes designed to create significant impact on the local area.

Our interventions
strengthen the communities

Our philanthropic strategy outlines four lines of Mandate addressing the complexity of our times and the areas we work in.

1. Creating shared value:

by supporting the creation and sustainable development of local ecosystems

2. Reducing inequalities:

by addressing various forms of poverty and vulnerability

3. Broadening borders:

by understanding and managing relationships between the territory, Italy, and Europe

4. Creating enabling conditions:

addressing poverty and vulnerability, strengthening communities

Our key areas of focus stem from Challenges of Mandate, which we manage through collaboration and innovation to enhance our impact on the local area.

ZERONEET the programme aimed at raising awareness, preventing and combating the phenomenon of young people Not in Education, Employment or Training (N.E.E.T).

TOWARDS INDEPENDENCE the programme designed to improve the quality of living for people with disabilities, empowering their independence and enhancing their life plans

ANITA the strategic programme to make child welfare a priority on the public, social and cultural agenda

FREEDOM IN PROGRESS the programme conceived to generate a positive impact on the living conditions during detention and on the possibilities for social reintegration once the sentence has been finalized.
