However, we recognise that it does not encompass all experiences and identities that exist. We are aware that, despite the intention of inclusiveness, the acronym may exclude some identities and communities not expressly mentioned. For this reason, we welcome all people, regardless of whether they belong to one of the letters of the acronym, and we commit to respecting and valuing every form of diversity.

Pursuant to Article 6 of the Third Sector Code (Codice del Terzo Settore), the Association may also carry out activities other than those of general interest indicated above, provided they are secondary and instrumental to the latter, in accordance with the criteria and limits defined by specific ministerial decree. Such activities shall be identified by a specific resolution of the General Meeting (Assemblea).
The Association may also conduct fundraising activities—by requesting donations, bequests and non-consideration contributions from third parties—in order to finance its activities of general interest and in compliance with the principles of truthfulness, transparency and fairness towards donors and the public.
