What Aias Bologna onlus does

AIAS Bologna ETS (formerly Aias Bologna Onlus) is an Italian nonprofit third-sector entity (ETS / Onlus, RUNTS registration REA 166054) founded in 1962 in Bologna, providing a comprehensive ecosystem of care services for persons with disabilities. Its operating model spans day centers (Fandango for adolescents, Principe Emilio for young adults, and the pioneering Paranà day center established in 1972), residential facilities (Cohousing l'Oasi, Condominio Solidale Partecipato at via Bovi Campeggi, Centro Residenziale Selleri Battaglia, and the experimental transition space Le Palme launched in 2016), home assistance, occupational therapy, anti-violence services for women with disabilities, summer vacation programs, and a digital citizenship desk for navigating public e-government services. The organization is the Bologna anchor within the Comitato Regionale AIAS Emilia-Romagna, which coordinates six provincial sections (Bologna, Ferrara, Parma, Piacenza, Ravenna, Reggio Emilia) and reports to the parent nonprofit AIAS Nazionale.

The technology stack centers on assistive technologies (Tecnologie Assistive), delivered through a dedicated Team AT covering domotics, accessibility solutions, and digital tools that support independent living. The organization offers training (European Care Certificate) and civil-service volunteer programs, and is integrated into European disability networks including EASPD, AAATE, and FISH, alongside Italian third-sector bodies such as Forum Terzo Settore and GLIC. Public-facing channels comprise a website (www.aiasbo.it), Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, and email newsletters; sector visibility is cultivated through ExpoAID and Exposanità participation.

Revenue mechanics are those of a public-interest nonprofit: managed-services contracts with regional public social and health authorities (AUSL, municipalities) for service delivery, supplemented by recurring membership fees from associates and voluntary donations from individuals, corporations, and organizations. Specific pricing and contract values are not publicly disclosed. The customer base consists of persons with disabilities (primary), their families and caregivers (secondary), and corporate partners seeking employee volunteering channels.
