The graphs extracted from the Foundation’s Financial Statements, closed on December 31, 2018, show the geographical distribution, sector (art and social, art and health, art and awareness art and development), and type of support (co-partnerships or donations) disbursed by the Foundation in 2018.

 

Co-partnership

During 2018, in line with the deep strategic renewal process of the Foundation launched in 2017, the Foundation supported new projects, in new strategic areas, both in Switzerland and Europe, and consolidated its relations with Fondazione Alta Mane Italia (AMI), through successful co-partnership agreements.

In relation thereto, reminder is given that these are three-way contracts between Fondation Alta Mane, AMI and the beneficiaries (Partners), according to which:

  • Alta Mane Italia supports the Partners during the start-up/implementation of their projects throughout varied and complex social or hospital conditions, monitoring and assessing the sustained activities as well as the future conditions of sustainability of the Partner;
  • Fondation Alta Mane supports the aforementioned beneficiaries through donations preceded by the usual verifications.

The sector of intervention remains the use of art in situations of extreme social marginalisation and hospitalisation of young people due to serious pathologies.
