La Farga Foundation

Transcending by encouraging education and culture

La Farga Foundation was created in 2004 with the mission of creating value and wealth in its surrounding area. Since then, it has supported educational, social, and cultural initiatives. In June 2017, it integrated the Josep Moncusí Private Foundation.

This is why its scope of action is focused on its staff, children of staff, and members of La Farga’s business family, the counties of Osona, Ripollès and Moianès and, more specifically, in the municipalities of Les Masies de Voltregà and Sant Joan de les Abadesses.

Areas of the initiatives

Social sphere

It plays an active role in the social sphere, through donations, sponsorships, prizes and collaborations on activities in Les Masies de Voltregà and the countie of Osona.

Cultural sphere

Within the cultural sphere, , it opened the Copper Museum in 2008. A unique platform within Europe that outlines, in a technical, educational, and experiential way, the properties, historic importance and applications of copper in the past, present, and future.

Educational sphere

In the educational sphere, it allocates part of its funds through study grants for the education of the business family, staff, and children of staff of La Farga and residents in Les Masies de Voltregà and Sant Joan de les Abadesses. Each category has a call for applications, terms and its own budget.

La Farga Foundation enjoys one of the great treasures of La Farga, the building that houses the Copper Museum. The same building that the founding family would enjoy during summer, and whose walls are now home to many mementos and lots of work. Work that has defined the destiny of many generations and an entire region.

The board of trustees is the main governance structure of La Farga Foundation and is responsible for its administration and representation with different bodies and institutional events.

Its roles notably include scheduling activities and allocating financial funds. The board of trustees is currently formed by 7 people:

Oriol Guixà

President

Tristán Fisas

Director

Xènia Andrade

La Farga Foundation is based at the Museum of Copper, which is closely linked to the history of La Farga and the Foundation itself. The building was erected between 1918 and 1920 at the request of Josep Lacambra who, during the extension of the company’s premises, decided to build a chalet for his family on the road leading to the factory.

Years later, the family home underwent a renovation in a collaborative project with the University of Vic to turn it into the current Museum of Copper while preserving its original modernist style architectural design.
