BPER Bene Comune: the call for proposals to support projects for vulnerable young people is back.


BPER Banca is once again seeking projects, to be co-financed at 60%, promoted by Third Sector Entities ( TSEs ) committed to supporting children and young people experiencing economic marginalization. The bank has launched the eighth edition of the BPER Bene Comune Il futuro a portata di mano (Common Good: The Future at Your Fingertips) call for projects: with the new call for projects, the bank will select up to five projects. Applications are open until August 26th.
The call is aimed at ETSs wishing to implement initiatives that promote inclusion , independence , and well-being for vulnerable children and young people, with the aim of enhancing skills or facilitating future employment. Projects must be ongoing and develop in educational, cultural, artistic, sports, or workshop settings, involving the active involvement of beneficiaries and the strengthening of local communities. Proposals must be original and innovative , have a high social impact and measurable results, are aimed at improving the quality of life of the recipients, are economically sustainable, and can foster local networks and collaborations. The target audience includes children aged 3 and up, adolescents, and young people up to 25 years old.
Interested ETSs can submit their projects on Produzioni dal Basso , Italy's leading crowdfunding and social innovation platform, by 12:00 PM on August 26. If the selected organization manages to raise 40% of the budget through the crowdfunding campaign, BPER Banca will contribute the remaining 60%, up to the overall financial goal. The proposals received will be reviewed by a committee of experts who will evaluate them based on criteria such as consistency with the call for proposals, but also their ability to network locally and achieve a tangible social impact.
With the call for projects, BPER Bene Comune offers Third Sector Entities not only a co-financing opportunity but also the chance to increase their skills in the fields of fundraising and communications .
