Stranaidea

What Stranaidea does

Stranaidea S.C.S. Impresa Sociale is a Turin-based Italian social cooperative founded in 1986 that delivers integrated person-centered services across three verticals: social welfare for vulnerable populations, environmental and territorial management for municipalities, and cultural programming. Its social-services portfolio includes four day-activity centers and rehabilitation services for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (CAD Artemista, CAD Casa di Zenzero, CADD El Duende, SSER L'Orobilogio), a distributed migrant reception service (Mister Grab) operating under CAS and SIPROIMI frameworks in the Valli di Lanzo, and an active-citizenship and employment-insertion program (Cittadinanza Attiva) delivered via Consorzio Sinapsi. Environmental services encompass public cemetery management across 28+ municipalities in the Metropolitan City of Turin (since 1993), green maintenance, and differentiated waste collection, with a consumer-facing private cemetery brand, Kore – la cura oltre, offering published unit pricing from €70 per intervention and €150 annual subscriptions. Cultural activities are housed in the internal Sbalzi – Cultura in Rilievo division, producing theater, artistic workshops, and the Stranarte festival.

The technology stack underpinning operations is minimal: a WordPress-based corporate website, Mailchimp for newsletter distribution, internal SharePoint access, and no public APIs, SDKs, or proprietary software platform — service delivery is people-intensive rather than technology-led. The cooperative holds ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, ISO 45001:2018, and UNI PDR 125:2022 certifications, all issued by RINA, and is a member of ConfCoop and an accredited Erasmus+ Adult Education provider (2021-2027 cycle). It is member-governed under Italian cooperative law with reported share capital of €684,867.50 as of 31 December 2025, no external investors, and no parent company.

Revenue is generated primarily through managed-services contracts with municipalities and public administrations, supplemented by regional and national programme funding (including PNRR Missione 5) and European grants (Erasmus+, European Solidarity Corps, CERV). Top-line revenue is not publicly disclosed. Distribution is direct: field-based service delivery through public-sector contracts and individual service agreements for Kore, with marketing conducted via the website, newsletter, blog (Stranaragione), social media, and cultural events.

• Consorzio CGM: National network of Italian social cooperatives aggregating services across welfare, education, labor insertion, and environmental services. A broader incumbent umbrella to which Stranaidea's multi-service cooperative model is structurally aligned.
