Fondazione San Gaetano onlus

What Fondazione San Gaetano onlus does

Fondazione San Gaetano onlus is a private non-profit foundation (Fondazione di Partecipazione) headquartered in Vicenza, Italy, operating since 2010 and inheriting an operational lineage from the 1978-founded Associazione Comunità Terapeutica San Gaetano da Thiene. The organization delivers an integrated portfolio of person-centered therapeutic, rehabilitative, and social services for substance and behavioral addiction (drugs, alcohol, gambling), mental health disorders, dual diagnosis, personality disorders, mother-child vulnerability, and youth in distress, spanning residential communities, semi-residential day centers, outpatient intake, sheltered apartments, mobile prevention, and supported employment pathways.

Its service portfolio includes named programs such as La Soglia (DBT-accredited therapeutic community), No Potus, Oasi, Integra (dual diagnosis), Identi-Key, Il Nodo, Il Colle, Laboratorio Famiglia (mother-child), Aqua (day center), Speed (protected apartments), Accoglienza Ambulatoriale (intake), and the bSide mobile prevention unit. The therapeutic approach combines pharmacological, psychotherapeutic (DBT, EMDR, CBT, psychodynamic), and educational interventions delivered by multi-professional teams within a community living model. Capacity spans approximately 6 therapeutic-rehabilitation communities, 1 educational residential community for minors, 1 chronic care service, 1 day center, and an outpatient intake, plus protected apartments.

The business model is B2G-dominant: approximately €6.82M of 2025 revenue derives from retta (daily-rate) payments under contractual framework agreements with over 40 Italian public administrations — primarily ASL/ULSS regional health authorities and municipalities. AZIENDA ULSS 8 Berica alone accounts for roughly €3.75M (≈55%) of 2025 public funding. Supplementary streams include private-pay placements, European Social Fund (FSE/PR Veneto) project grants, Servizio Civile per-volunteer allowances (€507.30/month, 38 positions), 5x1000 tax designations, and private donations.

Revenue model

1. Public Healthcare Retta (ASL/ULSS/Comuni payments): The foundation's primary revenue stream comes from contractual agreements with regional healthcare authorities (ASL/ULSS) and municipalities across Italy. These public entities pay retta (daily rates) for patients placed in the foundation's residential, semi-residential, and outpatient services.

2. Private Pay (Retta Privata): Individuals can enter the foundation's programs privately, paying the retta directly. This represents an alternative to public placement for those who prefer or require private arrangements.
3. European Social Fund (FSE/PR Veneto) Projects: The foundation receives EU social fund financing for active labor inclusion projects targeting disadvantaged youth and vulnerable populations. Examples include RiGenerAzione (DGR 307/2025, €24,866.40), M.A.P.P.A. (DGR 1143/2024, €32,195.20), ATLANTE (DGR 425/2024, €29,655.60), and INFRANGIBILI (DGR 729/2023, €5,340.20).
4.

The foundation has 38 positions across Vicenza and Padova provinces.
5. 5x1000 Tax Designation: Italian taxpayers can designate 5x1000 of their IRPEF tax to the foundation using its tax code 95104990247, generating additional revenue for social purposes.
6. Private Donations: The foundation accepts charitable donations via bank transfer (IBAN: IT31Y0200811821000101276005) and these are tax-deductible under Italian nonprofit law (Dlgs n.460/97).
