McKim Medal Gala


One of the most high-profile cultural events on Rome's social calendar, the annual McKim Medal Gala honors individuals whose work internationally, particularly in Italy and the United States, has contributed significantly to the arts and humanities. Proceeds from the evening support the programs of the American Academy in Rome and American, Italian, and international artists and scholars, providing them with important opportunities to pursue their individual studies, to participate in and contribute to international discourse in their fields and disciplines, and to gain experience that will be invaluable throughout their careers.

 

ASD Warriors Viadana


Lottomatica has been supporting the Warriors Viadana amateur sports association for years.  

The association was established in 2014 with the aim of promoting sport, in particular Powerchair Hockey and Powerchair Football, for people with motor disabilities, and initiating projects to raise awareness, visibility and social inclusion.  

With the association, the Group has embarked on a path of increasing awareness of disability and inclusion issues. 


Salvamamme


In order to contribute with concrete actions to the fight against violence and gender discrimination, Lottomatica supports the Salvamamme association and the “Valigia di Salvataggio” project. 

The association, which has been in the front line supporting fragile women and families for more than 20 years, with its “Valigia di salvataggio” initiative, wants to respond to the requests for help from women who are victims of violence or stalking, providing them with concrete support in the very first hours of leaving the house in which, often together with their children, they have been abused. 

In January 2023, Lottomatica launched a two-pronged initiative: the first consisted of a fundraising campaign in favor of the Association, while the second involved volunteer days to carry out support, reception and distribution activities at the Roman headquarters of the Salvamamme Association. 

The donations received, combined with the value of the days donated by colleagues and the contribution of Lottomatica, enabled Salvamamme to prepare 50 suitcases and rescue cases for women victims of violence and their children.

 

Solidarity collection for Turkey and Syria together with Salvamamme


Following the earthquake in Turkey and Syria on 5 and 6 February 2023, Lottomatica employees mobilized in favor of the population, collecting more than 280 kg of food and basic necessities, such as hygiene and baby products, and more than 1,300 winter clothes for adults, teenagers and children. The donations were handed over to the Salvamamme association, which took care of delivering the donations to the areas devastated by the earthquake. 


Susan G. Komen Italia


Lottomatica and Fondazione Lottomatica are alongside the Susan G. Komen Italia association, a volunteer-based organization on the front line in the fight against breast cancer and the promotion of women's health protection. 

Every year, the Group promotes the participation of its people in the Race for the Cure, the largest event for the fight against breast cancer in Italy and worldwide.


Food4People and Banco Alimentare


December 2023 saw the conclusion of the fourth edition of the "Food4People" project, through which Lottomatica Group promotes periodic collections of foodstuffs to be donated to charitable organizations. This year the collection was organized thanks to the collaboration of Banco Alimentare, the association whose purpose is to help alleviate the problem of hunger, marginalization and poverty, as well as to promote the fight against food waste, which delivered all donated goods to the KIM association. 


Partnership with Rosso for blood donation


Lottomatica aims to make a contribution on the issue of blood donation through a collaboration with Rosso, a start-up that has the ambitious goal of eliminating the blood emergency in Italy by 2030. 

During 2023, this partnership involved group employees in blood donation days, offering them the opportunity to donate blood directly at the company's premises.


FAI - Fondo Ambiente Italiano 


The Lottomatica Group supports FAI – the National Trust for Italy – as a Corporate Golden Donor. FAI is a non-profit foundation established in 1975, inspired by the model of the National Trust, with the mission of protecting and promoting Italy’s historical, artistic, and landscape heritage.
