Per Esempio Onlus

What Per Esempio Onlus does

Per Esempio Onlus is an Italian non-profit organization (Onlus — Organizzazione Non Lucrativa di Utilità Sociale) founded in 2011 and headquartered in Palermo at Piazzetta Sette Fate, 9. It runs three named programs — BE Education Foundation (national educational-poverty initiative in partnership with BE For Education Foundation), Donne in azione (national gender-equality initiative), and Includate (international social-inclusion project for migrants and underrepresented groups) — and frames its mission around four pillars: educational poverty reduction, gender equality, international youth mobility, and social inclusion. Its target beneficiaries are children and youth affected by educational poverty, women and girls facing gender inequality, and young adults and youth workers seeking international mobility, with a stated "sguardo da sud" (southern perspective) and a participatory empowerment model.

The organization operates without proprietary technology or a commercial product platform; its digital surface consists of a WordPress website, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and LinkedIn profiles used for awareness and engagement rather than service delivery. Its go-to-market is direct community programming at the national level (Palermo and Italy) combined with international project delivery across the Mediterranean region, including documented activity in the West Bank. Funding flows through donations, grants, and project-based support, channeled via a "Sostienici" (Support Us) program and a "Diventa volontariə" (Become a Volunteer) funnel; no revenue, ARR, or budget figures are disclosed.

Leadership is anchored by co-founder and president Claudius Arestivo. Strategic positioning in 2025–2026 emphasizes thought leadership on AI in the third sector (Prompt4 partnership, "Intelligenza erogativa" article) and on circular economy and social innovation, signaling an intent to position the organization at the intersection of social impact and emerging thematic agendas while remaining a grant-funded delivery body rather than a technology vendor.
