Where we meet
Taking a stand.
The Charity Fund of Intesa Sanpaolo has chosen to stand beside women and children escaping violence. That is exactly where WIS and La Mongolfiera work.
Without this support, the campaign that helps people recognise violence every week would not exist.
What it is
A fund that chooses which side it's on.
-
It is the tool Intesa Sanpaolo uses to support the communities where it works, funding non-profit projects with grants that do not have to be repaid. It comes under the Chairman's Office of the bank.
-
It chooses projects for their social impact and for the reliability of the people who carry them out.
-
Supporting women and children who are victims of violence is one of its three priority areas: in 2023 it devoted more than a third of its grants to it.
