CSV di Padova e Rovigo

What CSV di Padova e Rovigo does

CSV di Padova e Rovigo is a non-profit Volunteer Service Center (Centro Servizio Volontariato) legally mandated under D.Lgs. 117/2017 (the Italian Third Sector Code, articles 61-63) and registered with RUNTS as Associazione Centro Servizi Padova e Rovigo Solidali ODV since October 21, 2022. The organization was formed through the merger of two predecessor associations that previously operated separately in the Padova and Rovigo provinces, consolidating the CSV mandate across both territories. It operates as a second-level association (associazione di associazioni), coordinating and supporting over 500 Third Sector Entities (ETS) and Volunteer Organizations (ODV) across 3,963 km² and approximately 1.17 million inhabitants. The 11-member Board of Directors was elected on May 10, 2025, and operational staff numbers are reported between 14 and 21 depending on source.

The organization delivers an integrated portfolio of nine core services to ETS members free of charge: advisory (legal, administrative, fiscal, RUNTS registration, new association constitution), training (Scuola di Volontariato e Legame Sociale Luciano Tavazza), communication support (press office, graphic design, social media, newsletters), logistical support (room and equipment lending), social project design (Progettare(Il)Bene), volunteer orientation (including corporate volunteering and RIA programs), management of Universal Civil Service programs (accredited under D.Lgs. 40/2017), and research/documentation. Service delivery channels include physical offices in Padova and Rovigo, on-demand peripheral offices, and the MyCSV reserved-area portal providing 24/7 self-serve access. Project-level offerings include ST.ACCO (a transport and social accompaniment service for elderly and disabled persons, reporting 5,257 beneficiaries and over 400,000 km in 2025), Ostello delle Idee (inclusive community space), and Solidaria (territorial aggregation including the Solidaria Young youth program).

The business model is non-commercial and statutorily funded. Per D.Lgs. 117/2017, the CSV receives funding from banking foundations through the Fondo Unico Nazionale (FUN), supplemented by state tax credits recognized to those foundations. Because services are provided free of charge to all qualifying ETS, there is no revenue diversification, no equity, and no commercial pricing. Strategic alliances span municipal governments (Unione Pratiarcati), the regional health authority (ULSS 6 Euganea), the University of Padova, the Tribunale di Rovigo, and other foundations, supporting event co-production, training co-design, and volunteer matching. The organization is a member of CSVnet, the national network of Italian volunteer service centers.
