Our principles cannot be bought - we are in the pocket of no political party, religious or economic power.
We will only accept funding that does not compromise our ability to address issues freely, thoroughly and objectively.

To ensure that no one stops us from achieving our objectives, we are protecting our freedom and independence with scrupulous care, and we will continue to do so.
Confederazione Veneziana will not accept funds that might impair the independence of the organization to pursue its mission. To this end, Confederazione Veneziana will:

1. accept resources only from donors who share our objectives;
2. seek a balanced distribution between resources obtained from public sector, private sector, foundations and charities, and membership contribution;
3. seek a multitude of donors in any aforementioned category;
4. not accept resources granted under condition or structured such that CV:
   - refrains from independent action,
   - pursues activities inconsistent with its mission, or
   - refrains from pursuing activities consistent with its mission.

Currently, we rely almost entirely on donations from our Directors. These individuals believe so much in Confederazione Veneziana's mission that they are willing to sacrifice their own families' financial security to support CV's activities!

Therefore, when you look at our range of activities and projects and to what we have achieved so far, please take a moment to realize how much commitment and financial sacrifice it has meant to us. And then take a moment to consider how much more we could do if YOU too could give us your support.

Donations to support our work may be made either by Cash, Cheque, Postal Order or by Bank Transfer directly into Confederazione Veneziana's account:

• Cash:
  Do not send cash by Post, but come and meet us personally at our Headquarters Office in Padua (VENEZIE) Northern Italy - please call us beforehand on 049 750480 / 049 9900609.
  
  
• Cheque/Postal Order - always give a clear reference (i.e. write your name and address on the back of it) unless you wish to keep your support anonymous:
