We defend sociocultural values and promote the right to education

Its global commitment and wish to undertake international action capability allow Fomento de Fundaciones to encourage and protect sociocultural values, channel funds for cultural purposes, and promote the right to education.

Its vocation to help goes beyond our borders. Fomento de Fundaciones is also known as the International Foundation

By the express wish of its founder, Rafael Termes, and thanks to the impetus of Luis Valls, this private foundation of international scope with educational and cultural purposes was established in Madrid on July 22, 1987. Its initial objective was to take out social action in favor of culture and education beyond our borders.
