Fondazione Cariplo is a philanthropic foundation that makes non-repayable grants to non-profit organisations and public bodies for the implementation of projects and initiatives.

A widespread presence to respond specifically to the different needs of local areas

The area where we work, Lombardy and the provinces of Novara and Verbano-Cusio-Ossola, is large and populous, with great heterogeneity and a wide range of entities, with varied skills that result in differing, local needs. In this context, we aim to be the body that connects and enters into dialogue to create the enabling conditions for the dissemination of good practices that adapt to the specificities of local areas and communities.
