We Are All in This Together. Gucci stands with its global community to fight the Covid-19 pandemic by making two separate donations to crowdfunding campaigns. Locally, in Italy where the company is based, a 1 million euros donation to the Italian Protezione Civile Department in partnership with Intesa Sanpaolo's For Funding platform to reinforce Italy’s health services and to source new ICU beds. Globally, Gucci donated 1 million euros to the United Nations Foundation’s Covid-19 Solidarity Response Fund in support of the World Health Organization through Facebook’s US$10 million Matching Fundraiser to monitor and collect data on the spread of the virus to strengthen ICUs across the world, supply protection equipment to health personnel and fast-track the creation of vaccines and therapies. The initiatives are captured in an original illustration gifted by Rome-based artist MP5, a person who holds their hand on their heart a message of human solidarity. “Gucci has created a world, open and free: a Gucci global community. We ask all of you to be the changemakers in this crisis, to stand together with us in the fight against the Coronavirus. We are all in this together,” say Alessandro Michele, Creative Director of Gucci, and Marco Bizzarri, President and CEO of Gucci.
Calling on our Gucci Community to join with us, give through our Donate Sticker on Instagram Stories for the United Nations Foundation’s Covid-19 Solidarity Response Fund in support of the World Health Organization, and on gucci.forfunding.it to donate to the Italian Protezione Civile Department.
