Our Mission:
Founded in 1998, “Leonardo da Vinci” Foundation is a fully registered Romanian non-profit, non-governmental, private voluntary organization.
Dedicated to training and consulting, the Foundation is overseen by a functioning board of program coordinators. All trainers, board members and staff are Romanian.
