Fondazione Edoardo Garrone is an operating foundation, established in 2004 in Genoa as a natural evolution of the Garrone-Mondini family’s longstanding social and philanthropic commitment. It is dedicated to the memory of Edoardo Garrone, who in 1938 launched the industrial activity of the ERG Group.
The Foundation is committed to educating and empowering younger generations, helping them become conscious protagonists of their personal and professional journeys and active agents of positive change in society. We believe that today’s major challenges – from ecological transition to social equity and cultural evolution – can only be addressed through the active engagement of young people. That is why we listen to the needs of communities and local areas, responding with concrete initiatives capable of generating lasting impact.
Our approach is based on strategic philanthropy, driven by clearly defined and measurable goals, the development of networks and partnerships, and constant monitoring of results. Each year, we involve young people in innovative educational programs, providing them with practical tools to face the challenges of the future. In particular, we focus on the education sector and the revitalization of Italy’s Apennine areas.
