摘要：Foundations have played an important role in social life in the Basque Country. Foundations, that are part of the Social Economy, are non-profit-organizations and apply their assets to the achievement of general interest purposes. This article analyses the Foundational sector in the Basque Country from different approaches: legal, social and economic. Their characteristic features and current challenges will also be analyzed. Finally, a very relevant case study will be developed: Lantegi Batuak Foundation, whose aim is to promote and achieve the social and occupational integration of people with disabilities by creating quality employment opportunities.
