Spanish term or phrase: fundación
In a list of the characteristics of a specific Spanish bank, followed by statistics. For example:

Número de tarjetas: xxx
Inversión tecnología: xxx
Fundación: xxx
Obra social: xxx
Banca privada: xxx

I should clarify that the term "fundación" is followed not by a date, but by a figure in Euros (it's a Spanish bank).
