Fondazione Anffas Salerno

What Fondazione Anffas Salerno does

Fondazione Anffas Salerno Giovanni Caressa is a non-profit foundation established in 2009 in Salerno, Italy, operating as part of the national Anffas network, the largest Italian association of families of people with intellectual disabilities and neurodevelopmental disorders. The Foundation delivers accredited rehabilitation services (cognitive, neuromotor, psychomotor, occupational therapy, speech therapy, psychotherapy) through its Centro di Riabilitazione 'Leucosia' and socio-health day services through the Centro Diurno Integrato 'Giovanni Caressa' in Battipaglia, alongside an Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) pathway for people with autism spectrum disorder. Supporting service lines include the SAI (Sportello Accoglienza e Informazione) free information desk, professional and family training programs, research projects, and systemic advocacy with institutions, complemented by the inclusive theatre laboratory 'La Girandola'.

The Foundation's business model is a multi-stream non-profit revenue structure: (i) accredited service contracts with the Servizio Sanitario Regionale (held since 2013), (ii) 5x1000 IRPEF tax designations (fiscal code 95123610651), (iii) direct donations via bank transfer and online portal, (iv) event-based fundraising (e.g., the 2025 Christmas dinner raised over 8,120 euros), and (v) project funding from the Ministry of Labor and Social Policies under art. 72 D.Lgs. 117/2017 for initiatives such as TuttInclusi and Persone e Comunita. All beneficiary services are provided free of charge. The Foundation does not employ proprietary technology; it is a human-delivered clinical, advocacy, and training organization. Governance is led by President Salvatore Parisi, Vice President Ugo Caressa, Board Member Sabrina Marotta, and Director General Alessandro Parisi, with no external equity ownership.

The Foundation operates in the Campania region as its primary service market, with selected national-level project participation across 8+ Anffas regional entities. Strategic positioning combines direct service provision, family/community support, and systemic advocacy for the rights of people with intellectual disabilities.
