Monnalisa's Foundation
MISSION
Founded in 2006 by the Iacomoni family, patrons of the globally recognized children's fashion company Monnalisa Spa, the Monnalisa's Foundation aims to make a positive impact.
Its mission is to actively promote and raise awareness about community welfare.
The foundation engages with the local area through initiatives that emphasise growth, sustainability, solidarity, and active participation.
OBJECTIVES (GOALS)
The Monnalisa's Foundation initiatives concentrate on education, raising awareness, and promoting road safety.
These initiatives are responsive to the needs of the local community and create opportunities for young people to enhance their self-entrepreneurial abilities.
The objective is to assist the community in addressing particular areas of social, environmental, and economic vulnerability.
Our Projects
FOR ETHICAL YOUTH ENTREPRENEURSHIP
With the PCTO project, high school students develop skills in the economic-financial field.
FOR SOLIDARITY WITH THE TERRITORY
With the opening of the Temporary Charity Shop by Monnalisa's Foundation, the area benefits from a donation.
The Diversity at Work Project was initiated by its partners to foster the inclusion and integration into the workforce of a group that is often difficult to reach: individuals with cognitive disabilities. This project specifically targets those whose cognitive impairments are mild enough to allow them to handle jobs that require less intensity and can be overseen by a tutor. Although the project sets several clear objectives, it recognizes that these efforts represent just a modest advancement toward the broader goal of integrating people with disabilities into the workforce. Yet, the partners are optimistic that even these small steps can lead to substantial achievements. Consequently, through the Diversity at Work Project, partners provide their educators and trainers with the necessary tools to develop the social and personal skills of people with cognitive disabilities. This training aims to enhance their self-awareness, enabling them to thrive in a work environment that is safe and supervised, yet open to the broader society.

In 2022, the Monnalisa's Foundation established its first Baby Pit Stop in partnership with UNICEF, located within the Foundation's Temporary Charity Shops in various areas. This initiative provides a welcoming and hygienically safe space for new mothers to breastfeed their children. Furthermore, the annual collaboration between UNICEF and the Monnalisa's Foundation engages primary school students in a creative competition, encouraging them to illustrate the rights of children around the world.
