Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Padova e Rovigo is a not-for-profit organization that operates to promote social and economic development in the provinces of Padua and Rovigo.
It was originally established as a banking foundation in December 1991 following the reform of the Italian banking system introduced by Law no. 218 of 30 July 1990 (known as the Amato Law, after the then Italian Treasury Minister, Giuliano Amato).
Inspired by a vision of a supportive community that promotes innovation, Fondazione supports activities and initiatives carried out by public institutions and not-for-profit organizations, and in turn executes projects that aim to achieve a perceivable change, by interpreting the needs of the territories in which it acts.
