Italian association of foundations and philanthropic organisations

Assifero is the Italian association of foundations and philanthropic organisations and the reference point for philanthropy in Italy. Our membership includes family, corporate, community foundations, centuries-old philanthropic organisations, and new evolving kinds of philanthropic organisations. They differ in mission, geographical focus, size and areas of intervention, and work for the common good listening to territories and communities, identifying needs and potentials, and activating long-term processes of human and sustainable development.​

We promote and facilitate collaboration and connections at Italian and European level, disseminate good practices and innovative approaches, increase the circulation of information, and foster opportunities for exchange and dialogue in order to build critical mass together, scale bettering practices, and strengthen the impact as well as the capacity for representation and policy proposal of Italian philanthropy.
