MAMA: Philanthropy and the Arts - From Aspiration to Impact

Join us for an exclusive MAMA Online Presentation, where we explore one of the many crucial topics covered in the Master in Arts Management and Administration (MAMA) at SDA Bocconi: the evolution of cultural philanthropy.

As funding models shift and new philanthropic trends emerge, future arts managers must understand how to navigate these changes and build sustainable support for cultural organizations. This session will highlight the latest innovations in cultural funding and how the MAMA program prepares students to tackle these challenges.

The discussion will feature:

• Prof. Piergiacomo Mion Dalle Carbonare – MAMA 2026 Director, expert in arts management education and research.

• Prof. Alex Turrini – MAMA Founder and former Director, MSc Director, Associate professor at Bocconi University

• Giovanni Nunno – MAMA 6 Alumnus (2020-2021), Head of Digital Content Strategy at the Société des Amis du Louvre, bringing real-world insights into digital engagement in cultural philanthropy.

• Fabrice Charlot, from Guidance & Recruitment Team

Together, they will explore:

• New paradigms in cultural philanthropy – from trust-based giving to impact-driven funding.

• Digital transformation in fundraising – how institutions leverage technology to engage donors.

• The role of arts managers in shaping the future – key skills and strategies for success.

The presentation will also provide an overview of the MAMA program, illustrating how it equips students with the expertise to lead in the arts and cultural sector.
