What is the Confederation

The Confederation of Funds for Cooperation and Solidarity is a framework for coordination and joint representation of the several Funds for Cooperation and Solidarity existing in Spain, on all those matters which, due to their importance, affect their common interests.

Objectives

The Confederation's own tasks fit into the following objectives:

• To contribute to boost decentralized cooperation inside and outside its members' territorial scopes, besides favouring their structuring into networks.
• To become a stable and common speaker before the Spanish government, European, and international institutions with coinciding approaches.
• To consolidate coordinated working and managing tools to accomplish a mutual learning and the setting of common criteria for the projects' analysis, assessment, control, and monitoring.
• To promote shared public awareness projects.

Origins

The Confederation of Funds was created on 19th September 1995, as a result of the wide approach coincidence amongst the several Funds for Cooperation - in spite of their origin diversity-, in order to gather the legally constituted Funds and to take over their joint representation, always respecting each member organisation's own identity and independence.

Its founding members are the Fons Català de Cooperació al Desenvolupament, Euskal Fondoa, the Fons Valencià per la Solidaritat, the Fons Mallorquí de Solidaritat i Cooperació, and the Fons Menorquí de Cooperació.
