It currently employs 35 social workers and about 12 volunteers.
The aim of Fundatia Filantropia Timisoara is to support people experiencing poverty and social exclusion despite their social and religious background. Through its strong Christian approach, Fundatia Filantropia Timisoara works on a daily basis to sustain and improve the living and spiritual conditions of people in Timisoara in the spirit of modern diaconia.

Fundatia Filantropia Timisoara is a member of Federatia Filantropia and cooperates with the Network of Social Care Organisation in Europe (SoCareNet), and Eurodiaconia member Diakonie Neuendettelsau, part of Diakonie Deutschland.
In their application form Fundatia Filantropia Timisoara state that they wish to have a membership of Eurodiaconia because: “Taking into account our identity and the latest organisation’s enlargement, it is now time to be actively involved in transnational events, projects and partnerships. We can contribute to the advocacy work of Eurodiaconia with the expertise gained in the Timisoara Region, as well as the relationship with the other 22 members of Federatia Filantropia and the good cooperation with Romanian local and national authorities.”
