Meet the Board
The Gianni Gromo Foundation is governed by a small, all-female Board of Directors, whose priority is to ensure that donations are used efficiently, directly benefiting those in need rather than being consumed by administrative expenses. With a cautious approach, the Board aims to grow GGF projects gradually, focusing on supporting students, particularly girls, in advanced studies and providing targeted donations to local organizations and small clinics.
