Revenue model

1. Healthcare Service Conventions with Local Health Authorities: Anthropos generates revenue primarily through formal convention agreements (rapporti convenzionali esclusivi) with the territorial AUSL/AASL health authorities. Since 1988, the cooperative has maintained exclusive conventional relationships for the operation of its psychiatric rehabilitation facilities including CRAP, Centro Diurno, Comunità Alloggio, Gruppi Appartamento, Casa per la Vita, and Centro Alzheimer. Revenue is derived from per-patient/per-day rates set by the public healthcare system under convention contracts.
2. Government Grants and Training Subsidies: The cooperative receives public funding for employee training and skills development programs, including: Piano Formativo Aziendale from Regione Puglia (€51,925 in 2021), Fondo Nuove Competenze from ANPAL-INPS (€219,236.50 in 2021), and various other training subsidies under POR Puglia FESR/FSE 2014-2020 and other regional programs.
3. Integrated Cooperative Services (HEIS Alberovivo): Anthropos has promoted the creation of a type-B integrated work cooperative (Mediterranea, 1993; HEIS Alberovivo) for the work placement of psychiatric patients. Meal preparation services are provided by HEIS Alberovivo to the day centers, generating intra-cooperative service revenue.
