Fondazione MBBM

What Fondazione MBBM does

Fondazione MBBM (legal name: Fondazione MONZA e BRIANZA per il BAMBINO e la sua MAMMA ETS) is an Italian non-profit foundation established on October 28, 2005, headquartered in Monza. It operates exclusively for civic, solidarity, and social-utility purposes as an Ente del Terzo Settore registered in the Registro Unico Nazionale del Terzo Settore (RUNTS) under D.Lgs. 117/2017. The foundation pursues excellence in pediatric healthcare for children and young people affected by hematological, onco-hematological, and high-complexity therapeutic pathologies, and is governed by a five-member Board of Directors appointed by its three founding members — Fondazione Maria Letizia Verga, Fondazione Matilde Tettamanti e Menotti De Marchi, and Fondazione IRCCS San Gerardo dei Tintori — plus Università di Milano Bicocca.

Its activities span healthcare and socio-healthcare service delivery, scientific research in pediatric medicine, psychological and social support for patients and families, and international cooperation projects targeting medium- and low-income countries. Clinical operations are anchored at Fondazione IRCCS San Gerardo dei Tintori, whose Pediatrics Department Director holds a permanent invitation to the foundation's board, providing direct clinical integration. Service delivery is regional in primary scope (Lombardy) with international cooperation extending reach globally.

Fondazione MBBM generates no commercial pricing; its revenue model is funded through donations, legacies, bequests, and public and private contributions, supplemented by returns from managed assets (property and investments) and proceeds from healthcare and socio-healthcare services delivered under agreements with public and private entities. There are no products, technology platforms, AI capabilities, or proprietary technical assets disclosed — the entity functions as a charitable healthcare-research foundation rather than a technology company.
