Fondazione Cariplo is dedicated to philanthropy through its own economic, planning and professional resources, to encourage and support the implementation of projects that focus on the common good, people’s growth and collective interest.

Our action

Combating inequalities and promoting economic and social growth in local areas 

We adopt the grant-maker model, using our financial and managerial resources to identify and address social, economic and cultural problems that hinder community development.

To do so, we develop intervention strategies using a wide range of tools: from grants to support for collaboration/innovation pathways and promotion of social entrepreneurship; from advocacy, study and outreach activities to impactful investment and activation of other financial structures dedicated to specific needs in the community.

We take action by playing an innovative role that contributes to the design, testing and evaluation of new models of intervention and to disseminating promising good practices the usefulness and effectiveness of which has already been demonstrated.
