Abstract
From an American perspective, charitable foundations are a very rare type of institution in the Italian landscape. While foundations in the United States, such as the Ford Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, or the Carnegie Corporation, usually distribute grants to nonprofit organizations, only a few grantmaking foundations operate in Italy; their endowments and grants are generally very small, especially compared to their American counterparts, while their activities (generally disbursement of fellowships or subsidies) are very traditional.
