Gift Matching Program 2021
In 2021, the Gift Matching Program (GMP) turned 19: a great opportunity to involve employees in the solidarity projects that are most important to them
€ 1,196,078 221 14
donated amount supported projects participating countries
The Gift Matching Program is a historic initiative for the Foundation, promoted since the very beginning of its activity.
The mechanism is simple: the Foundation doubles the donations made by groups of employees to Third Sector Entities chosen by the same colleagues, in all the countries where UniCredit operates.
The donation groups are coordinated and promoted by the employees, who become their Ambassadors. The Program Regulations require a minimum number of participants and a minimum amount of donation per group of colleagues, depending on the country. The initiative is in fact calibrated on the local characteristics and sensitivities, precisely to further stimulate employee participation. The year 2021 also saw a significant participation: 14 countries within the Group's perimeter involved, 221 projects supported, 6,622 donations and € 1,196,078 donated overall by colleagues and the Foundation.
In line with the current scope of the UniCredit Foundation, the Gift Matching Program 2021 has supported projects in favour of children and adolescents. However, given the emergency situation that also characterized 2021, it was also possible to submit projects aimed at countering the effects of the pandemic, regardless of the beneficiaries' ages. Most of the colleagues wanted to support initiatives in favour of children in hospital or with disabilities; and once again their hearts were warmed by projects carried out in developing countries.
To enhance the deep commitment made by colleagues over the years, the Foundation continued to consider retired colleagues as an active part, whose donations contributed to the doubling of the UniCredit Foundation.
As in 2020, this year too the initiative aimed to reward the voluntary work component that drives many of our colleagues, and the participation of younger colleagues;
In this way, the beneficiary organizations were allocated additional sums in the case of donors under the age of 35 or who volunteered for the organizations for which they
donated. There were no less than 1386 donations made by colleagues under the age of 35 (almost double those made last year); the youngest participation was registered in Romania; Italy, on the other hand, is the country that saw the most participated component of voluntary service.
Finally, the (Italian) membership through the so-called Employees Non-Profit Organisations, associations formed exclusively by retired UniCredit employees and former
employees, and coordinated by an employee in service, is significant. Their goal is to organize fundraising campaigns to finance organizations focused above all on the needs of the reference territories. This year the Employee No-Profit Organisations stood out for their real proximity to the communities strongly affected by the health emergency and the consequent situations of poverty.

La Vida Loca aims to expand the project to all 60 maternity hospitals in the Czech Republic, so that it becomes an automatic part of the practice at the birth of a baby intended for adoption. | 3.870 € | |
| Czech Republic | Doctor clown Association | Medical clowns for seriously ill children | Praha 9 | The Medical Clown is a charity that has been helping pediatric patients through the smiling treatment process since 2001. There are 86 professional Health Clowns in the Czech Republic, who regularly visit 62 hospitals. The mission of the Medical Clowns is to create a relaxed environment not only in medical facilities, but to bring joy and good mood to places where there is not much of them. The medical clown wants to reduce the stress not only of the patients, but also of their parents and relatives, and at the same time bring the medical staff themselves out of the stereotype. The medical clown has a number of programs for sick children. As part of the Health Clown Festival, health clowns come to children's wards of hospitals to prescribe laughter, dispel stress and sadness, encourage small patients and prescribe more than a large amount of humor. The aim of such a Clown is to mentally separate the child patient from his illness and mental discomfort, to engage him with the game, to involve him in it and thus conjure a smile on the child's face. In the NOS program, medical clowns accompany small patients and their parents to the operating room. The Child Program is an individual program where a medical clown becomes a long-term support and partner of a child with a serious diagnosis who is hospitalized for a long time. In the Slippers program we have medical clowns behind a seriously ill child right to his home. |

| Italy | Associazione Variopinto | Our ME TOO: 3,000 euros to double the Atelier de Couture Nyampinga, a small workshop for the great future of special girls | Limbiate | There are girls for whom Covid was just another wall to climb towards the future. A wall that came after poverty, abandonment, the streets and prostitution. In the suburbs of Kigali, in Rwanda, for some of them the hope of a future is called Atelier de Couture Nyanpinga, a sewing workshop, created with the aim of reintegrating these girls through employment. Here, the girls first attend a literacy course, then a professional sewing course and then begin to work. Today, the Atelier makes traditional clothes and school uniforms and, with the colored scraps of the magnificent African fabrics, the bags that enclose Variopinto's solidarity panettone cakes. Today, the atelier has 11 stations and there is a great desire to double them. We can do it by raising 3,000 euros. This is the amount needed to install 10 "almost new" manual sewing machines, enlarge the atelier and prepare what is necessary to welcome and host the girls who knock on the door every day. | 4.290 € | |

| Italy | Golfini Rossi Onlus | The "Pappa di Parma" to combat child malnutrition in Tanzania | Bareggio (MI) | Child malnutrition, in rural areas of the Rukwa Region, represents a real social scourge with over 35% of children under five suffering from stunted growth, an indicator of chronic malnutrition, while 5% suffer from malnutrition acute. A scientific study by the University of Parma has shown how malnutrition can be countered, substantially reducing the use of water, too often contaminated, in children's diets to a minimum. This is how Pappa di Parma was born, a mix of local nutrients, calibrated to ensure correct nutritional intake. Golfini rossi onlus has been involved in activities for children in the Rukwa area for over 6 years. It has recently defined an education plan for the health personnel of the Mvimwa Dispensary, aimed at new mothers who give birth in the dispensary, but also for those who give birth at home in the adjacent rural areas.

| Italy | ODV Luce sul mare | STXBP1 | Porto Tolle (RO) | STXBP1 is one of the proteins that allows neurons to communicate with each other through the release of neurotransmitters. The mutation and "malfunction" of this gene causes abnormalities in brain function. The first symptom that manifests itself are epileptic seizures, often in the first days of life of the child. From a developmental point of view, we see a wide spectrum of situations ranging from the acquisition, albeit incomplete, of certain activities (walking, saying a few words, eating alone) to the total absence of muscle tone and eye contact with, sometimes, the need for artificial nutrition. The diagnosis of this rare anomaly often arrives late and there is no shared protocol for the treatment of affected people. It is for this reason that the association STXBP1 Italy was born, aimed at protecting the right to social life of people affected by this anomaly. STXBP1 Italy and the voluntary organization "Luce sul Mare", born to protect the right to social and civil life of people with disabilities, collaborate to initiate initiatives to raise awareness through meetings, public initiatives and dissemination material on STXBP1 mutation, the problems and difficulties of people with this mutation and their families. | 1.020 € | |
| Italy | L'Aurora Opere Educative Cooperativa sociale | Let's put them in wings - Support for disabled children | Cernusco sul Naviglio (MI) | The project stems from the discovery that children with disabilities who attend an equalitarian school no longer have the support paid by the Italian State from the first grade onwards, while it is partially covered in state secondary schools, but not in high schools. The choice of an equalitarian school by a family does not arise from the need for status but to ensure their child with special needs a support teacher appointed from the first day of school and not only from November as happens in state schools; in addition, in equalitarian schools, the support teacher tends to remain the same throughout the educational cycle and is not changed every year as happens in state schools. This means that in paritarian middle schools the support remains completely at the expense of families and corresponds to the payment of an annual salary of a teacher, a cost difficult to bear for an average family. For this reason, the project "Mettiamogli le Ali" (Let's give them wings) was created to give children with special needs the opportunity to attend a school that is closer to their educational needs while having a support teacher paid for by the solidarity of all of us. |

| Italy | Ronda della Carità e Solidarietà ODV | On the empty streets: support for homeless people and families in difficulty during the Covid-19 emergency | Milan | The Covid-19 pandemic has had the impact of an emergency within an emergency on the phenomenon of homelessness in Italy, making life on the street increasingly difficult and risky for the health of individuals. In this difficult moment, the commitment to support homeless people has been renewed by supporting the Mobile Night Unit service. For four evenings a week, hot meals, personal hygiene products, blankets and other basic necessities, including surgical masks, disposable gloves and disinfectant gel, are distributed on the streets. During the service, we are committed to disseminate among the people we meet the rules and suggestions for prevention from Covid-19 infection transmitted by the competent bodies and to monitor the health conditions of the most vulnerable. Starting from the encounter on the street, in the places where homeless people live, we try to build relationships with them and motivate them to emancipate themselves from street life, offering support and accompaniment in undertaking paths of social inclusion. In the last year, the suspension of activities and services due to Covid-19 for many has meant intermittent work or loss of employment. Many families have found themselves in need of help for the first time to sustain the costs of everyday life and not all have found answers in institutional support measures. From information on how to take advantage of services and facilities in the area to the distribution of food parcels, shopping cards and PPE and individual protection, we aim to be there for these people as they face this difficult period. |

| Italy | Fondazione ARMR ETS | ARMR for Istituto Mario Negri | Ranica (BG) | Study of the mechanisms responsible for the protective effect of anti-inflammatory drugs against SARS-CoV-2 infection. Although vaccines have proven to be an excellent weapon to prevent severe forms of the disease and deaths, the identification of effective and safe treatments to be administered in the early stages of Covid-19 could play a key role in halting disease progression and limiting the occurrence of new health emergencies should vaccination-resistant variants of SARS-CoV-2 emerge. To date, several classes of anti-inflammatory drugs, including aspirin, nimesulide, and indomethacin, have been shown to prevent the need for hospitalization when administered in the early stages of disease. The mechanisms by which these drugs may exert this protective effect against SARS-CoV-2 remain unclear. In the present proposal, the Mario Negri Institute aims to investigate the molecular mechanisms by which anti-inflammatory drugs limit the infective capacity of SARS-CoV-2. As a further objective, the project aims to evaluate how anti-inflammatory drugs are able to alter and slow down the replication of the virus within the cells that are affected by the virus. |

Filoteia" - Floreni | Raiu | In the north-east of Moldova, a region with poor economic, financial and social stability, a group of children has been created, who under the guidance of a professional, participate in educational, sporting and cultural activities, go on trips and learn to help themselves each other. After several years of activity, in which significant progress was noted in children's attitudes, behavior and mentality, it was decided to take a new step and help other children: abandoned children from Vaslui County. In Romania there are about 50,000 institutionalized children, entrusted to the Romanian state, aged between 0 and 18 years. Within them, nearly 2,000 people leave the state system each year, with no future or opportunity for integration into society. Thus was born the idea of creating the “Santa Filoteia” Social Center, in Floreni, in the province of Vaslui, with 18 direct beneficiaries and about 200 indirect beneficiaries. |
