Our Projects
Research & Initiatives Supporting Seniors
Threestones Foundation supports a focused portfolio of projects that strengthen purpose, connection, and wellbeing for seniors. Our work brings together research, community engagement, and long-term partnerships to address key challenges associated with aging — from cognitive health and autonomy to social connection and dignity in later life.
Each project reflects our commitment to evidence-informed approaches and thoughtful collaboration with researchers, practitioners, and organisations working at the forefront of aging-related issues.
EANS Foundation Geneva
Threestones Foundation is in partnership with Professor Christian Schaller to advance research on fall-related brain injuries among seniors. This cross-disciplinary project combines data analysis, awareness campaigns, and community action to improve elderly care, prevent trauma, and promote ageing with dignity.
Cure Parkinson's
We support the Cure Parkinson’s initiative in their mission to slow, stop, or reverse Parkinson’s— the world’s fastest-growing neurological condition. Through global collaboration between leading experts, the program prioritizes research with near-term clinical potential, driving innovation to change disease progression and transform lives.
Aima Biella: Alzheimer Association
Since 2020, the Threestones Foundation has supported Mente Locale in Biella, a welcoming space where seniors come together to stay active in mind, body, and spirit. Through movement, creativity, and friendship, the center helps people facing memory challenges — and those who simply wish to age well — feel connected and alive.
Amici di Uri Cancer Research
Amici di URI, a non-profit in Milan, supports the Urological Research Institute at San Raffaele Hospital. Its mission is to improve care for people affected by urological cancers, especially those over fifty, funding research, early detection, and patient education programs that bring science and humanity together in the fight against disease.
Emergency Covid Mask Supply
During the height of the COVID-19 crisis, we coordinated the urgent shipment of 50,000 surgical masks from trusted partners in Taiwan to Europe. Despite transport shutdowns and complex customs barriers, the Foundation successfully delivered this vital protection to care facilities in Italy, Germany, and Spain — supporting frontline staff and vulnerable seniors.
AMPA - Alzeimer's Research
Threestones Foundation supports an Alzheimer’s research conference by AMPA. Led by Catherine Pastor and Professor Bruno Vellas, the event explored ageing through the concept of “intrinsic capacity,” emphasizing early detection, prevention, and collaboration to improve understanding and care to sufferers of this deadly disease.
Progetto Anziani
In collaboration with the Italian Consulate in Geneva, the Threestones Foundation helped distribute food vouchers to seniors facing financial hardship in the cantons of Geneva, Vaud, and Valais. The initiative reached hundreds of elderly people living alone, providing not only essential groceries but also dignity, comfort, and a renewed sense of community support.
Attilio Romanini Association
We support this Italian association dedicated to spreading a Culture of Relief — offering care, comfort, and support to cancer patients and their families. Working alongside Gemelli ART radiotherapy center in Rome, the association provides hospitality, guidance, and complementary therapies that ease treatment and restore dignity, hope, and quality of life.
Zaffiro Group Nursing Homes
We support the Zaffiro Group retirement home in Sanremo, a place where medical care meets compassion. Surrounded by gardens near the sea, the residence provides personalized assistance for the elderly, including end-of-life support, rehabilitation, and creative activities that nurture dignity, individuality, and comfort in the final stages of life.
