i Bambini delle Fate

What i Bambini delle Fate does

i Bambini delle Fate S.p.A. Impresa Sociale is an Italian social enterprise founded in 2005 and headquartered in Castelfranco Veneto, Treviso. The organization channels regular monthly contributions from companies, commercial activities, and private individuals into social-inclusion and autonomy projects for families affected by autism and other disabilities. It explicitly excludes one-time donations, public funding, 5x1000 allocations, and cash contributions, treating recurring monthly giving as the prerequisite for predictable, long-term program planning. Project delivery is carried out through a network of accredited local partner associations across roughly 20 Italian regions.

The core offering is a fundraising coordination system rather than a technology product. It comprises a Regular Fundraising Collection System, an "Adozione a Vicinanza" (Proximity Adoption) model that pairs each corporate or individual sponsor with a specific beneficiary family in their territory, and dedicated per-project bank accounts that provide transaction-level transparency. Adjacent programs include the Banca del Tempo Sociale (Social Time Bank), the Casa per Noi housing initiative under the "Dopo di Noi" framework, and Work Inclusion programs supporting employment for people with autism and disabilities. Named partner associations include ANFFAS Alto Friuli, Fondazione Noi: Domani, PIZZAUT, and Coop. Sociale Consenso.

The revenue model is a subscription-style recurring contribution arrangement, with contribution amounts negotiated per sponsor and project territory. Distribution is community-led, leveraging a corporate-partner network that includes PwC, BMW Motorrad, Banca Ifis, Zuegg, FILA, Lavazza, Clementoni, De Longhi, Moncler, ALDI, Banca San Biagio del Veneto Orientale, and Julius Meinl Italia. The organization publishes annual Social Balance Reports (Bilanci Sociali) for transparency. It discloses no external institutional investors, private-equity backing, or parent-company ownership, and operates as an independent Impresa Sociale under Italian social-enterprise law.
