The Foundation

Our Foundation was established in 2020 by Marina Nissim, Executive Chairwoman of the Bolton Group, as a natural consequence of a business culture based on ethical values of solidarity and support for communities.
This philanthropic culture has always been part of the DNA of Bolton Group. Over the years, we have supported medical and scientific research and promoted several environmental protection projects along with our sustained commitment to preserve and promote artistic and cultural heritage.

Different areas of intervention, but with a common denominator, which has then become the fulcrum of our work: education, as a source of awareness, responsibility and cultural, environmental and social sensitivity for each individual and for the community.

Through education, we want to transmit to young people the hope for a better future, giving them the most appropriate tools to be conscious actors of their own fulfilment.

Through education, we aspire to provide young people with the tools they need to build their own life.

Our activities also include initiatives in favour of the communities and the response to emergency situations to help people affected by natural disasters, disease outbreaks and conflicts.

Our Mission

Education as an engine of change
We believe in education as a source of awareness and responsibility for young people and as a tool to enhance each individual’s natural potential.
This belief drives our endeavour to ensure the right to education for all children and young people.
We aim to provide them with the opportunities to develop their abilities and talents regardless of their background or stage of development.

By supporting and developing initiatives in the field of education, school and training, we intend to accompany young people to thrive and to acquire the necessary skills to take charge of their own future and to address the great challenges related to the transition to a sustainable development model.
