The Alliance for the Golden Years stems fromthe Ravasi Garzanti Foundation’scommitment to building a new urban welfare system dedicated to longevity. It is a civic and generative pact that goes beyond a simple assistance program to transform vulnerability and needs into opportunities for community, solidarity, and social innovation.
The alliance is a civic pact designed to function as an integrated and flexible system of various stakeholders in the city of Milan. The goal is to create environments capable of generating widespread value for the benefit of a community characterized by longevity.
The Alliance is structured on three levels:
Resources, expertise, and visions are align around shared goals. Each partner brings their own assets—financial, relational, and expertise-based—in line with the philosophy of “contribute less and generate more.”
Foundations, cooperatives, associations, institutions, cultural and healthcare organizations operate in an integrated manner within their local communities—not merely as providers of services but as producers of social welfare who co-design and co-plan
The Alliance does not replace the various stakeholders, but rather strengthens their impact, their operational capacity, and their long-term sustainability. The FRG plays a leading role and coordinates the ecosystem.
The value of the model lies in its its ability to generate multiplier effects (financial, operational, and relational), reduce duplication and fragmentation, and transform one-off philanthropic contributions into systemic investments in the well-being of the aging population.
