The Genoa Foundation 1893 was established on March 7, 2006 and by the following September 5, by Decree of the Region of Liguria, it gained its formal recognition and legal status.
The Foundation was born from the initiative of the President of the Genoa Cricket and Football Club, Enrico Preziosi in a delicate phase in the history of the club. The initiative drew on and took advantage from the events of the period, the response of the Genoa CFC community, and worked towards guaranteeing its future existence.
The Body is a “Participatory Foundation”: members who make contributions in the various forms provided by the by-laws may express their vote to appoint members of the Board of Directors, which in turn is in charge of the appointment of the Regency Board.
The Foundation received an initial endowment from its founder consisting of a sum of money, as well as shares representing 25% of the share capital of Genoa-Società, with the guarantee of the preservation of the integrity of the share capital for ten years. Following the loss of said guarantee, the shares will be downgraded, thus guaranteeing the Foundation a suitable revenue contributing to its own, and the Museum’s, survival for the coming years.
