Our mission is clear from our name: “with” the South (con il Sud). We promote and cultivate generative alliances and purpose-driven partnerships to support community development, including through direct collaboration with key partners on this journey: philanthropic organizations, public administrations, public and private institutions, and businesses.
Why collaborate with us
We support initiatives aimed at the growth and empowerment of new generations, the protection and preservation of historical, artistic, and cultural heritage and the environment, the reclamation of uncultivated or abandoned land, the reuse of assets confiscated from organized crime, the strengthening of health and social care services, sustainable mobility, social housing, and community welfare, and the promotion of immigrant integration and protection of the rights of the most vulnerable groups. In short, we work to make Southern Italy a place where staying, returning, or arriving is truly a possible choice. We do this, in part, through partnerships built around a shared vision and collaborative processes.
Collaboration built on trust and shared goals
Vision, local presence, expertise, and experience in a proven collaborative process.
Social innovation and shared solutions
Mutual growth for shared solutions: participatory and generative initiatives that create impact for local communities and inspire a new narrative of change.
Monitoring and impact evaluation
Processes for listening to communities and for verifying and evaluating the impact of our actions.
