Revenue model

1. National Health Service (SSN) Rehabilitation Services: The center operates under convention agreements (ex Art. 26 L. 833/78) with the Italian National Health Service. Services are provided to approximately 440 disabled patients in developmental and adult age, funded through ASL (local health authority) contracts. ASL authorizes patient treatment and pays the center per authorized sessions. The center is bound by an annual spending ceiling imposed by the Campania Region.
2. Private-pay Rehabilitation Services: The center offers rehabilitation services in private regime (ambulatory, home-based, and semi-residential) for patients who wish to begin treatment without waiting for SSN authorization. Private services allow faster access to care. Revenue is generated per session or per program.
3. Semi-residential (Semiconvitto) Services: The semi-residential facility at Via Amerigo Crispo 14 provides day care for disabled patients, including meals, transportation, educational activities, and rehabilitation services. Funded through SSN authorization by the UVI (Unità di Valutazione Integrata) of the ASL.
4. Donations and Charitable Contributions (Terapia Sospesa): The center accepts charitable donations through its 'Terapia Sospesa' (Suspended Therapy) program, where donors contribute funds that are used to provide rehabilitation paths for patients in economic difficulty. Donations are processed via PayPal and credit cards.
5. 5x1000 Tax Donation Program: Italian taxpayers can designate 5x1000 of their IRPEF tax to Giffas at no additional cost. The center promotes this program as a way to support rehabilitation activities. Tax code: 07243620635.
6. Project-based Activities and Summer Programs: The center organizes paid project activities such as 'Un Tuffo in Prima Elementare' (monthly project costing €65), 'Estate in Azione' summer program, and 'Officina Creativa' workshops, generating revenue from participant fees.
