Funds TOgether

UniTo’s program to promote effective crowdfunding campaigns

Funds TOgether is the University of Turin’s crowdfunding program dedicated to research and innovation projects. It was created to support the most promising interdisciplinary ideas and transform them into tangible activities capable of generating scientific, cultural, and social value — with contributions from citizens, companies, and institutions.

Skills and visibility for research

The program offers research teams tools and support to develop skills in project management, fundraising, and communications, helping them design, promote, and manage successful campaigns. By engaging citizens, businesses, and institutions, the initiatives create new connections, generate real impact, and strengthen collaboration between universities and society. At the same time, Funds TOgether helps enhance the research and innovation of the University of Turin, increasing its visibility and reputation and strengthening the University’s ability to attract private resources to support projects of public interest.

The results of Funds TOgether

To date, the campaigns launched have achieved over 369% of their overall funding goal.
