Fondazione Time2

What Fondazione Time2 does

Fondazione Time2 is an Italian philanthropic foundation (Ente Filantropico / Ente del Terzo Settore) founded in 2020 in Turin by Manuela Lavazza (President) and Antonella Lavazza (Vice President), focused on the rights and inclusion of young people with disabilities. It runs a portfolio of interconnected programs that span community spaces, sports, education, healthcare accessibility, and grantmaking for the third sector. Core programs include Open (an urban diversity and civic-engagement space inaugurated in Turin in November 2023), Casa Mistral (a community space in Oulx in Alta Val di Susa, inaugurated May 2022 and operated under a public tender with the Comune di Oulx), Sport Time2 SSD (a unified-sports club covering tennis, basketball, football and winter sports), an annual Summer Camp in Bardonecchia, Officine della Vita Indipendente (a parent workshop methodology co-developed with Università di Torino), Summer School (training on Italian disability legislation Legge Delega 227/2021), and the CIAO project deploying ARASAAC-based augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) tools at Ospedale Infantile Regina Margherita. The foundation also operates two grant programs: Bando Prossimi (launched 2020, €1 million deployed across 59 mountain-area projects) and Bando Cambiamenti (up to €35,000 per project), plus the Prima Persona Plurale festival (launched 2025).

The foundation's core technology is operational rather than product-based: it relies on digital communication platforms (website, Mailchimp newsletters, social media), the Riseact donation infrastructure, YouTube for event streaming, and AAC pictogram systems adapted for healthcare environments. It does not sell products or services commercially; revenue is generated from individual donations (credit card, PayPal, bank transfer, 5x1000 Italian tax designation), corporate donations, government and European program grants, and project-based partnerships with public institutions and private foundations. The pricing model is donation-tiered (e.g., €35 funds one hour of unified sport for five people; €80 funds an individual educational guidance session). Go-to-market is community-led, anchored in the Lavazza family network and an ecosystem of academic, institutional, healthcare, and third-sector partners including Fondazione CRT, Università degli Studi di Torino, Special Olympics Italia, the Sport for Inclusion Network of 21 foundations, and multiple local cooperatives.

Broad incumbents

• Fondazione Don Carlo Gnocchi: One of Italy's largest non-profit foundations providing rehabilitation, disability services, and assistance for people with disabilities across multiple regions. Comparable as a more established, multi-site operator with overlapping disability services but a broader medical-rehabilitation focus.
• Fondazione CRT: Major Piedmontese banking foundation supporting social, cultural, and economic development across the region. Comparable as a funder and ecosystem player (already a core partner of Fondazione Time2 via Agenda della Disabilità), though operating at a much larger scale and across all societal domains.
• Fondazione Telethon: Italian non-profit foundation funding genetic disease research, with strong brand recognition and annual fundraising telethon. Comparable as a major Italian disease/disability-focused foundation using both direct programming and grantmaking, though focused on research rather than direct services.

Direct peers

• ANFFAS: National Italian association of families of people with intellectual and relational disabilities. Highly comparable as a family-led disability organization offering services, advocacy, and territorial networks for the same primary beneficiary segments as Fondazione Time2.
• Fondazione Lega del Filo d'Oro: Italian non-profit foundation providing multi-faceted disability services (educational, residential, family support) to deaf-blind individuals and their families. Comparable as a similarly structured Ente del Terzo Settore with a portfolio of direct programs, family services, and policy advocacy built around a specific disability population.
• Fondazione TOG: Milan-based non-profit foundation providing rehabilitation, education, and support for children and young people with rare neurological diseases. Comparable as a similarly structured private non-profit foundation delivering direct programs and family support for a defined disability population.
• Special Olympics Italia: Italian branch of Special Olympics, providing unified sports training and competitions for people with intellectual disabilities. Already a partner of Fondazione Time2's Sport Time2 SSD, and the most direct peer for the inclusive/unified sports programming.
• Fondazione Francesca Rava NPH Italia: Italian non-profit foundation supporting children's rights, health, and disability, with program delivery in hospitals and communities. Comparable as a private non-profit foundation offering direct programs to vulnerable children and families, including hospital-based interventions.

Emerging players

• Fondazione Asphi: Italian non-profit focused on disability and ICT, promoting digital accessibility and inclusion through assistive technology. Comparable as a smaller non-profit with overlapping assistive-tech and inclusion themes, though narrower in deliverable scope.
• Cooperativa sociale C.S.D.A. Italian social cooperative partner of Fondazione Time2 at Casa Mistral, providing family support services through the Centro per le Famiglie Diffuso. Comparable as a third-sector operator delivering family-facing disability and social services in the same geography.
