Fondazione Cecilia Gilardi supports promising young people as they move from education into work, with a strong emphasis on scholarships, paid internships, and training pathways. Its funding is especially geared toward students, recent graduates, and young artisans in Italy, and it backs both academic excellence and practical professional development. The foundation also shows a distinct interest in research that connects to health and environmental innovation, suggesting a mix of talent development and socially useful applied projects.
Competitive, deadline-driven grant and fellowship programs; awards appear modest-to-moderate in size, with some recurring annual cohorts and structured training placements rather than open-ended grants. Support is typically tied to a specific program, requires a project proposal and supporting documents, and is focused on Italy, especially northern regions such as Piemonte and Liguria.
