The trio — Piero Barone, Ignazio Boschetto, and Gianluca Ginoble — revealed the news during a heartfelt press conference, explaining that the decision had long been part of their personal mission.
“We’ve seen the effects of homelessness firsthand, and we knew if we ever had the means, we’d give back in a meaningful way,” the group shared. “No one deserves to sleep on a sidewalk.”
A Major Philanthropic Commitment
According to the announcement, the $25 million will be directed toward established homeless support organizations, funding:
-
Expansion of emergency shelters

Transitional and long-term housing initiatives

Employment training and reintegration programs

Mental health and outreach services
Advocacy groups say the size of the contribution could accelerate housing projects and provide immediate relief for thousands of individuals facing housing insecurity.
