The Caript Foundation, founded in 1992, is a philanthropic subject committed to supporting community welfare and the cultural and social growth of the territory.
On the basis of its statute, it pursues exclusively purposes of social utility and promotion of economic development, identifying the current territory of the province of Pistoia as the reference area of its activity, with the aim of responding to the needs of the territory and ensuring the best level efficiency in the use of available resources, supporting civil society organizations that work for the public good and working in harmony with the institutions, in order to make the deployment of cultural initiatives and social voluntary experiences less difficult. Among the aims of the Foundation is also the will to strengthen the commitment to its own projects, which may concern both initiatives conceived in an autonomous form, and projects proposed by third parties and which the Authority considers deserving of total support, favoring those with a wide scope , also with a multi-year character. The Foundation operates in 4 areas – culture, development, education and social – in which are grouped the sectors that have been chosen as relevant, recipients of at least 50% of available resources (art, activities and cultural heritage; education, education and training volunteering, philanthropy and charity, local development and social housing) and other statutory sectors (public health, preventive and rehabilitative medicine, environmental protection and quality, scientific research and technology).
For the pursuit of the statutory purposes, the Foundation is inspired by the planning criteria of the interventions – preferably on a multi-year basis – and of operations for projects and in the exercise of its activity follows the principles of independence, transparency, subsidiarity and effectiveness. Projects can be carried out independently by the Foundation as “own projects”, or in collaboration with third parties.
The Foundation also supports, through the design of specific calls and the provision of contributions, initiatives and projects proposed and implemented entirely by third parties: public and private bodies, and non-profit associations.
