The voice of the protagonists of social impact!

Piemonte Innova, thanks to the I3S Project, supports the national research by Italia non profit and The Good Social to highlight the opportunities and problems of the Third Sector.

The national survey aims to give voice to the new generations of volunteers, collaborators, employees and entrepreneurs of the Third Sector, protagonists of change in the social economy: resources and talents that, if not valorised, risk being lost, thus compromising the potential development of the Sector.

The survey is aimed at young people born between 1981 and 2012 who have gained active experience in the Third Sector and stems from the desire to listen to the opinion of Millennials and Generation Z, in their roles as protagonists of social impact.

Participants will be able to contribute to the survey for 45 days from 28 February until 13 April 2023. The results of the research will be compiled in a report, published and presented between next June and July.

The main objective of this research is to shed light on the opportunities and problems of the Third Sector faced by the new generations of Italian non-profit organisations, in order to identify possible future scenarios and new ways forward.

In fact, the non-profit sector is growing rapidly in terms of both the number of organisations and the number of people working in it, making it a colossal ’employer’ that produces EUR 80 billion a year, equal to about 5% of Italy’s GDP.

The emergence of new degree courses, together with the growing demand for specialised workers, are contributing to the development of services and opportunities of great social benefit to our country.

The new generations are increasingly attracted to the non-profit sphere and are among the first to contribute their technical skills: they are qualified, vertical and attentive to the role of technology and digital to support their activities.

The survey is promoted by Italia non profit and The Good Social, with the support of Fondazione Piemonte Innova within the project I3S – Digital innovation for the third sector and Fundraiser for passion.

Supporters of the research are One Day Group, Officine Buone Cause, ImpactSkills and FutureVox.
