About Fondazione Verzasca - Agenzia di sviluppo territoriale

Fondazione Verzasca is a place-based territorial development foundation focused on improving quality of life in the Verzasca Valley and Piano area through the Masterplan Verzasca 2030. Its visible grantmaking is centered on an annual prize for academic theses and research about subalpine valleys, landscape and territory, cultural heritage, regional development, and sustainable tourism, alongside occasional civic recognition. The foundation appears to work closely with local municipal and territorial partners and to favor projects that directly support the long-term vitality and visibility of the region.

Subalpine Valley ResearchRegional Development for Rural CommunitiesLandscape and Territorial StudiesCultural Heritage PreservationSustainable TourismCivic Merit and Local Leadership

Giving Approach

Annual, award-based support with relatively small prizes rather than open-ended project grants; based on thesis/research submissions and civic recognition, likely with a fixed deadline and local or regionally relevant eligibility.

How to approach this funder

Monitor the annual Premio Fondazione Verzasca call and submit by the stated deadline (for 2026: 31 July 2026). Strong applications should clearly connect academic work to the Verzasca/Piano territory, subalpine valleys, sustainable tourism, landscape, or regional development; the program appears geared to thesis-level research rather than general nonprofit proposals.
