Associazione Fondo Maria Bianchi
L’associazione è stata costituita per volontà dell’eclettico artista, che ha dedicato il fondo alla memoria della madre Maria e della sorella Maddalena, al fine di conservare e valorizzare un multiforme patrimonio culturale, opere d’arte e di fotografia contemporanea, di design, di saggistica e critica cinematografica, di editoria artistica e letteraria, di documenti sonori.
What is the exact meaning of **fondo** in Italian here? Does it actually mean 'fund', or 'money'? so needing a translation like "Maria Bianchi Trust Association"
I noticed the kudoz entry where fondo is a collection - it would make sense in this context.
thank you all

Trust /Fund
'Maria Bianchi Trust Association' would be an acceptable translation BUT its customary to leave names/titles like this untranslated, as they appear on the relevant registers in Italy
Note from asker:
| Thank you - I agree with leaving the name in Italian, but I always add a translation in brackets (to give readers an idea) |
