The great social and economic changes of our time have led to a progressive marginalization of the individual over the community.
Fondazione Pizzarotti considers it vital to rediscover the positive value of relationships and coexistence between different cultures.

In line with its Mission, with the Public Call "Insieme", the Foundation aims to contribute to improve the living conditions of families in difficulty, strengthen social ties and encourage participation among individuals, including through the involvement of disadvantaged groups of the population.

The public call will lead to the provision of € 100,000 - over the period 2017-2019 - in support of projects proposing adapt and sustainable solutions to benefit families in situations of weakness and in the presence of minors, throughout the province of Parma.

Project submissions may come from Volunteer Organizations, Associations of Social Promotion, Social Cooperatives etc, but also from independent informal groups. In all cases, projects shall preferably deploy/have a duration of at least 12/24 months.

Each proposal will be assigned a set of scores according to specific parameters, including feasibility of the idea, innovation, perspectives of continuity and development, and others. The overall score will determine the winner of the funds available.

All the details of the evaluation criteria and other useful details are available at the links below, from which the Bando itself is viewable.

To submit application, is necessary to download from its link below the form that must be completed, signed and sent to info@fondazionepizzarotti.it no later than by 1 o'clock pm GMT, on October 30th 2017.
