In 2025, the Mediolanum Philanthropic Collective marked a major milestone at its third annual event in Dublin’s City Hall, announcing over €1 million raised for community initiatives across Dublin, thanks to Mediolanum International Funds Limited (MIFL), its business partners, and Fondazione Mediolanum.

This milestone also launched a new partnership with the Liberties Community Project and Sporting Liberties. Fully funded by Fondazione Mediolanum, the initiative will create a safe, inclusive space for youth development and build a much-needed sports facility in Dublin’s south-west inner city.

The Philanthropy Collective and Fondazione Mediolanum continue to support Coolmine Therapeutic Community and Belvedere Youth Club, expanding recovery programmes for women and children, and early-intervention youth initiatives in Dublin’s north inner city.

Commenting on the ongoing work of the Philanthropy Collective, Furio Pietribiasi, CEO, MIFL said, “Ireland has been our home for over 27 years, and we’re committed to giving back. Our partnerships with Coolmine and Belvedere Youth Club show the power of sustained collaboration. This new initiative with Liberties Community Project and Sporting Liberties goes beyond sport—it’s a model for community development, driven by local leadership and business engagement. We’re grateful to our partners for their generosity and direct involvement, sending a clear message: ‘You are not alone. We believe in you and want to help build a better future.’”

Jack Chambers, Minister for Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation, who spoke at the event added, “Our country faces complex challenges, but it’s also home to remarkable people and organisations. The Mediolanum Philanthropic Collective shows what’s possible when communities, charities, and businesses unite—creating inclusive spaces and opportunities that strengthen society through sport, education, and leadership.”
