a few words from our founder

“I built the foundation on few important criteria, one of which is the fact that its operating costs have to be as close to zero as possible. My dream is that this becomes THE WAY any foundation and philanthropic initiative worldwide is run”

– Renzo Rosso

read our manifesto

“Innovative, sustainable, generating a direct social impact. This is what I want to do and how I want to do it. Less talk and more concrete results”

In 2008, inspired by his Holiness the Dalai Lama, Renzo Rosso established the Only The Brave Foundation to structure his social engagement efforts into a proper program. Because of his personal commitment with the Only The Brave Foundation, Renzo Rosso was appointed Millennium Development Goals Global Leader by the United Nations with the task to generate awareness on issues like social inequality and sustainable development within the industry, the administration and the general public
