General information
The “Centro di Servizio per il volontariato delle Marche” is an operative structure created with the purpose of giving free services to voluntary associations. Its principle aim is to give support to Volunteer associations, helping them to develop and qualify their activities. The “Centro di Servizio per il volontariato delle Marche”, founded in 1997 and fully operational from 1999, is run by the “Associazione Volontariato Marche” (a regional centre whose members currently are 346 volunteer associations from all over the region) and by five self-governing structures. Operationally speaking, the CSV of Marche, with a regional headquarters and provincial offices, is driven by its employees and professional freelancers. Our activity is financed by a special banking fund that gives us, yearly, 1/15 of the banking foundation’s profit. The correct destination and use of this income is controlled by the “Comitato di Gestione Regionale”.
