Fondazione Buon Samaritano supports individuals and families in the Foggia/Capitanata area who are affected by usury, over-indebtedness, and severe economic hardship. Its work is highly practical and case-based: it combines microcredit, subsidized lending, bank guarantees, and direct assistance with legal and administrative support to help people regain access to lawful credit and stabilize their finances. The foundation is distinctive for operating as an anti-usury solidarity fund grounded in Catholic social values and for acting as a bridge between vulnerable borrowers and national public support mechanisms.
Small, targeted, case-by-case assistance rather than open competitive grants. Support appears to include assisted microloans, limited non-repayable subsidies, bank guarantees through convened financial institutions, and hands-on help accessing public anti-usury funds; most activity is concentrated in the Foggia province with some assistance tied to national programs.

This is likely a service-oriented, case-managed fund rather than a traditional grantmaker. Applicants should expect to work directly with the foundation in Foggia, provide documentation of usury-related hardship and financial need, and be prepared for legal/financial review before any microcredit, subsidy, guarantee, or national-fund application support is approved.
