What A.M.I.C.I. Federazione Nazionale does

A.M.I.C.I. Federazione Nazionale, operating under the legal name AMICI Italia – Associazione Nazionale per le Malattie Infiammatorie Croniche dell'Intestino, is an Italian nonprofit patient association headquartered in Milan (Via G. Bruschetti, 16) with an 11-50 employee base and legal form Onlus. The organization serves people diagnosed with Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative Colitis, and indeterminate colitis (collectively MICI/IBD), together with their families, caregivers, and the healthcare professionals treating them. Its service portfolio centers on free specialist consultations (gastroenterology, pediatrics, surgery, dietetics, psychology, nursing, social welfare), patient and caregiver education, advocacy, and a census of specialized IBD treatment centers across Italy.

The organization's core technology is AMICI WeCare 2.0, a proprietary digital platform launched in April 2022 and accessible at www.amiciwecare.com. The platform operates a freemium model: base services (articles, news, specialized-center information, fundraising) are public, while personalized services (medical consultation booking, dietary advice, civil disability recognition initiation, personal health profile) are reserved for registered members identified by fiscal code and member ID. Content is produced by a dedicated editorial team and reviewed by a Medical Scientific Committee. Supporting sub-brands include AMICI Young (youth peer-support), InformAMICI (newsletter), and InfoBio (educational video project on biologic drugs and small molecules). The organization also donated proprietary registry software to the Sicilian IBD Network for tracking patients on biologic and biosimilar treatments.

AMICI's business model is a multi-stream nonprofit funding structure: recurring annual membership fees (amount not publicly disclosed), individual donations via bank transfer, postal account, credit card, and PayPal (tax-deductible under Italian law), the 5x1000 tax designation program (Tax code 97091710588), and project-based institutional and corporate funding (e.g., collaborations with Università Cattolica's EngageMinds HUB and ALTEMS). A 2025-2026 micro-donation crowdfunding campaign targets 250,000 donors at €1 each for a €250,000 goal. Go-to-market is community-led and event-driven: AMICI relies on its network of members, volunteers, regional meetings, and partnerships with hospitals, universities, and medical societies (IG-IBD, SINPE) for both awareness and member acquisition, with no traditional sales motion. Customer segments split primarily across IBD patients themselves, parents of pediatric patients, adolescents (via AMICI Young), caregivers, and treating healthcare professionals.
