What OIC Onlus Foundation does

Fondazione Opera Immacolata Concezione Onlus (OIC) is an Italian non-profit foundation founded in 1955 in Padova by Mons. Antonio Varotto and Nella Maria Berto, with the contribution of Professor Angelo Ferro. Originally established to care for six elderly domestic workers, it has grown into a major integrated welfare provider in Northern Italy, operating 13 residential centers (with 2,431 beds) across Veneto, Lombardia, and Friuli VG, and employing approximately 1,700 full-time staff who produce 4,500 meals daily.

The foundation's service portfolio spans five core areas: residential care for self-sufficient elderly, residential care for non-self-sufficient elderly (including dementia), home care (Offerta Domiciliare), medical/rehabilitation services (Offerta Sanitaria), and childcare/early education (Offerta per l'Infanzia). The Civitas Vitae model integrates these services into a single coordinated campus concept, with flagship sites including Civitas Vitae Angelo Ferro (Padova), Civitas Vitae Nazareth, and Civitas Vitae Vedelago. Supporting programs include the Club Over 100 (centenarian recognition, operating since 2008 and central to the 2024 Guinness World Record of 70 centenarians), Sportello Nuovi Passi (dementia caregiver counseling), the Fondo di Solidarietà (Solidarity Fund with an annual need of approximately €500,000), and volunteer associations VADA and Agorà.

Revenue mechanics rely on Italy's dual-quota model for residential care: the regional healthcare service (quota sanitaria) covers medical and nursing costs for accredited RSA beds, while residents and families pay a quota alberghiera for accommodation and hotel services. Home-care services follow a similar recurring pattern, while additional funding comes from the Italian 5x1000 tax designation (tax code 00682190285) and tax-deductible donations (30% deduction for individuals up to €30,000; up to 10% of declared income for businesses). Customers include non-self-sufficient and self-sufficient elderly, young disabled individuals, children, families, and caregivers, with referrals primarily flowing through ULSS regional health authorities, social services, and direct family inquiries. Technology is positioned as an enabler for autonomy and reduced isolation in home-care settings, though specific AI/automation capabilities are not disclosed.

2. Home Care Services: Domiciliary care services bringing the Civitas Vitae care model into people's homes, extending the foundation's reach to those in temporary or permanent situations of fragility.
3. 5x1000 Tax Designations: Charitable donations through the Italian 5x1000 tax designation program (tax code 00682190285), providing supplementary funding for the Solidarity Fund and general operations.
4. Solidarity Fund Donations: Direct donations to the Fondo di Solidarietà OIC, which assists guests in financial difficulty. The fund requires approximately €500,000 annually. Donations are tax-deductible for both individuals (30% deduction up to €30,000) and businesses (up to 10% of declared income or €30,000).
