Impatto+ 2025: Empowering Victims of Economic Violence

The new crowdfunding call for proposals Impatto+ 2025 – “Beyond violence, independence” is now open. The call was created as a tool for economic and social emancipation for people who suffer gender-based violence, with particular attention to the phenomenon of economic violence.

It is promoted by Banca Etica – the first and still only Italian bank dedicated exclusively to ethical finance – and Etica Sgr – an asset management company that offers exclusively ethical and responsible mutual funds – in collaboration with Produzioni dal Basso.

The main features of Impatto+ 2025

The call is aimed at third sector organizations, social cooperatives, social enterprises, anti-violence centers, shelters and MAG (Mutual Self-Management) who intend to launch reward-based fundraising campaigns on Produzioni dal Basso.

Projects may include financial education and access to credit to foster concrete paths to autonomy and self-determination for people who experience economic violence.

Those selected at the end of the first phase of Impatto+ 2025 will benefit from targeted training (led by Produzioni dal Basso campaign managers) on the best strategies for running an effective crowdfunding campaign .

Etica Sgr’s 30% contribution

Thanks to Etica Sgr’s Microfinance and Crowdfunding Fund, campaigns that reach at least 70% of their fundraising goal will receive a non-repayable grant of 30% (up from 25% in previous editions).

The Etica Sgr fund is funded by the decisions of ethical investment fund subscribers, who decide to donate 1 euro for every thousand invested to this fund.

Projects that raise 100% of their budget, or exceed their target ( overfunding ), will receive a one-off bonus of 5% of their initial fundraising goal, replacing the aforementioned 30% contribution.

How to submit projects

Applications for projects and initiatives for the Impatto+ 2025 are open from July 21st to September 19th 2025 (by 12 noon).

You can submit your project directly via the form on the Banca Etica Network on Produzioni dal Basso, completing the information sheet and attaching the budget statement.

The selection for the Impatto+ 2025 will be made by a committee that will evaluate the proposals based on criteria such as: consistency with the objectives of the call; project quality and innovation; community involvement; economic sustainability; social and environmental impact; and experience in crowdfunding.
