About us

The Fondazione De Agostini was set up in Novara (Italy),  in March 2007 by the Boroli and Drago families, both of which were shareholders in the De Agostini Group.

Firmly rooted in the area of Novara, where the De Agostini Group has been present since 1908, the Foundation operates primarily in the field of social care, particularly by fulfilling the needs of the most vulnerable groups – people with disabilities and children, providing real and effective solutions to their requirements.

In pursuit of this objective, the Foundation has set up a network of relationships and partnerships with organisations, foundations and institutions that share the same objectives and goals, and has undertaken, jointly with these bodies, to implement and support projects in the fields of social care, training and research.

The Foundation’s commitment to social care is the focus of most of its resources and efforts. It sees this as its true vocation, an attitude borne out of a corporate philosophy geared towards the individual, and a firm commitment to the needs of the local area.

The Foundation operates in Novara, the rest of Italy and in the international field.
