Prioritalia

What Prioritalia does

Fondazione Prioritalia is an Italian non-profit foundation established in 2017 by Manageritalia and Cida, the country's principal associations of managers and executives. The foundation operates as a hub for civic engagement around three intervention areas: Digital Ethics, Civic Regeneration, and Sustainable Development. Its mission is to catalyze managerial competencies for civil and social purposes, channeling the expertise of the Italian managerial community toward training, advocacy, and community impact projects.

Its core programmatic offerings include the Summer School Prioritalia-APRA (four editions since inception), the Comete Civiche civic regeneration project, the Value@Work initiative connecting youth with managers and academia, the bimonthly "Gocce di Sviluppo" newsletter, and active coordination of the ASviS Goal 16 working group on Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions. The foundation also participates in ASviS working groups on Goals 4, 8, and 17. The organization operates with approximately 8 staff at its Rome headquarters (via Orazio 31).

The foundation is funded through membership contributions, donations, and project-based grants rather than commercial pricing. It does not sell products or services. Its revenue and operational scale are not publicly disclosed. Strategic influence is exercised through institutional convening (CNEL events), policy advocacy (contribution to VIG law 167/2025 and 2022 constitutional reform on intergenerational equity), and an expanding partner ecosystem that includes ASviS (300+ member organizations), Save the Children, Forum del Terzo Settore, Enactus, APRA, Fondazione Italia Digitale, and I-COM. President Marcella Mallen also serves as Co-President of ASviS, amplifying the foundation's reach into Italian sustainable-development policy circles.
