The Endesa foundations

The Foundation handles the dealings of Emgesa and Codensa with local governments, representatives of local communities and peoples in areas affected by corporate activities. The Foundation’s activity in social development aims to offer local people feasible solutions to improve the quality of their life, by progressing projects which generate resources also in the medium term. 

In 2011 the Foundation invested 590,000 euro in the development of “self-sustainable production projects” in the field of agriculture for low-income families, in projects to support communities, in the lighting of religious buildings and in training programs to build up skills in the energy field.

The “Fundación Sevillana de Electricidad” or “Fundación Sevillana Endesa” dedicates a significant share of its resources to lighting monuments of artistic value in Spain, mainly in the regions of Andalusia and Estremadura. 

In 2011 the Foundation illuminated 13 religious and civic monuments and contributed to social assistance and economic development projects with an investment of 787,000 euro.

The programs of the Foundation aim to improve the quality of life of six Pehuenche communities in Chile, and to promote the culture of these indigenous peoples. Its mission is to contribute to the social and economic development of these communities through programs linked to the development of infrastructure, the launch of agricultural activities, education and training and the social inclusion of less well-off families. 

In 2011 the Foundation invested over 420,000 euro.
