Fons Valencià per la Solidaritat

The Valencian Fund for Solidarity was created in 1992 in order to channel, in a coordinated way, the resources which town councils and other Valencian bodies earmark for cooperation projects, for a sustainable and total development of the world's most underprivileged peoples.

Its activities are distributed in 3 working areas:

a) Managing and diffusion area, whose objective is to manage and divulge the activities done by the Fund, among the highest number possible of institutions, town councils, and among the Valencian society as a whole.

b) Cooperation area, in charge of managing the projects presented by the NGO's for development and their partners from the South, approved by the Fund, and to which 90% of the totality of the annual budget is alloted. The Valencian Fund also takes part in the Emergency Committee of the Valencian Autonomous Region.

c) Awareness area, through which several programmes are carried out, such as the Plan for Training of Municipal Volunteers on International Cooperation, the Conference for Solidarity in the municipalities from the Valencian Fund, conferences for those in charge of cooperation, exhibitions, etc., with the objective of touching, also in the North, upon the causes of poverty.

The Valencian Fund is formed nowadays by 106 members; the Generalitat (Valencian Autonomous Government) holds the Honorable Presidency.
