Creating Value for the Community

FONDAZIONE DE AGOSTINI

FONDAZIONE DE AGOSTINI

The De Agostini Foundation was established in March 2007 in Novara by the Boroli and Drago families to return to the community part of the added value generated by the entrepreneurial activities of the De Agostini Group.

The Foundation operates mainly in the social sphere, to respond concretely and effectively to the needs of people with disabilities, with situations of fragility or marginalisation and with particular attention to the younger generations, who represent the future of our country.

Today the De Agostini Foundation is active in four main areas:

Disability, Education and Training, Social Inclusion and Emergencies.

With these objectives in mind, over the years the Foundation has set up a network of relationships and numerous collaborations with organisations, foundations, institutions and associations that share the same mission and objectives and, together with them, has been committed to creating and supporting initiatives of great value.

Wherever possible, the criteria of replicability and economic sustainability are applied when choosing the projects. The Foundation aims to ensure that successful interventions can be replicated in different areas and locations and seeks to promote and strengthen the sustainability of the projects themselves and their ability to continue independently after the initial start-up phase.

The De Agostini Foundation intervenes mainly in the Novara area – with which the name De Agostini has had a deep connection for over a century – and in Italy. It is also active at international level, supporting projects linked to situations of social and environmental emergency.

Insieme per un progetto sociale

Project "1+1=3"

The third edition of "1+1=3 INSIEME PER UN PROGETTO SOCIALE", an initiative promoted by the De Agostini Foundation and De Agostini Group companies, was dedicated in 2023 to projects aimed at young people aged between 15 and 25.
The De Agostini Foundation, assisted by a group of young people from Ashoka, an international organisation that promotes social innovation and systemic change, evaluated all the projects submitted by employees and selected the finalists, which were voted on online by everyone in the Group.
For the DeA Capital Group, the most voted projects were: Un libro per amore (A book for love) by the Società Cooperativa Sociale Amicizia, from Codogno (LO) and BB4T: Building Bonds for Teens, creating bonds for teenagers and young adults in socially fragile situations by the Società Cooperativa Sociale L'Accoglienza Onlus from Rome.
The winning associations will receive a budget made available by De Agostini Group companies and the Foundation to implement their project. In addition, all finalist associations will have the opportunity to participate, free of charge, in a training course proposed by Rete del Dono.
