Fondazione di Sardegna, three-year investment plan for 115 million euro

The focus is on the territories, with a three-year 115 million euro investment plan and a forecast of disbursements for 2025 amounting to 36.5 million euro. Numbers contained in the 2025 planning documents and the 2025-2027 multi-year plan, approved by the Steering Committee of the Fondazione di Sardegna.

These are the numbers contained in the annual and multi-annual planning documents of the Fondazione di Sardegna, the eighth-largest banking foundation in the country with 80 members, with major holdings in the F2i fund, Bper banca and Cdp, led since June 2022 by President Giacomo Spissu.

With the approval of the documents, as the Foundation emphasises, 'the institution's financial solidity is confirmed and its commitment to a strategic vision of resources and constant growth in its disbursement capacity is strengthened'. And it is precisely the resources deployed that are considered a fundamental element in supporting the territories. A way to enable 'better planning of resources and the creation of more solid relations with beneficiaries'. Not scattered funds, but resources disbursed on the basis of projects accompanied by monitoring and evaluation activities of the initiatives supported "to ensure maximum effectiveness of the resources employed".

"The strategy of the Fondazione di Sardegna is based on a long-term vision, where capital stability and sustainability of disbursements combine to generate a lasting and concrete impact on the territory," emphasises President Giacomo Spissu. The objective is that the projects supported are not only responses to contingent problems and needs, but contribute to building a fairer and more inclusive society, offering more opportunities. In this way, the Foundation wants to accompany, within the limits of available resources, Sardinia's social and economic transformations through a participatory process, stimulating the development of the island's human and cultural capital'. As for the distribution of resources, the main fields of intervention range from education to research, continuing with culture, local development and volunteering. 'In this way,' Spissu continues, 'the Foundation aims to reduce educational gaps and promote innovation and social cohesion.

The approved plan envisages an increase in resources in all sectors of intervention for the entire programming cycle until 2027, with a special focus on the education sector, which has taken the form of the 'Bando Scuola - Tech Education' and the 'Bando Scuola Bene Comune' dedicated to community education pacts.
