The Fundació Lluís Carulla was the result of a bold initiative by Lluís Carulla Canals launched during the rule of Franco, when the Catalan language and culture were forbidden. It aims to preserve and develop Catalan culture.
The Carulla family has received this award for its management of the foundation, which will soon pass to the third generation. The family draws on independent external members who add value and help to further the foundation's aims. In this way, the Fundació Lluís Carulla remains true to the family's objectives, while judiciously adapting its strategies to meet changing needs.
