Get Involved · For Companies

Let's build the future
of the territory together.

Companies can support Fondazione Innovation Bridge ETS with a tax-deductible charitable donation — or become Supporting Members, joining the network that brings local businesses into the rooms where technological futures are decided.

Two pathways, one shared goal

How your company can get involved

01

Tax-deductible contribution

Charitable Donation

Your company makes a donation to the Foundation and deducts it in full from business income, within the limits set by law. An investment in the cultural life of the territory that the State actively incentivises.

Tax treatment

Pursuant to art. 83, paragraph 2, D.Lgs. 117/2017 (Third Sector Code), cash charitable donations made by entities and businesses to Third Sector Organisations registered with the RUNTS are deductible from business income up to a limit of 10% of declared income.

Alternatively, pursuant to art. 100, paragraph 2, lett. h), of the TUIR, charitable donations to non-profit entities with educational and research purposes are deductible up to a limit of 2% of declared business income. The taxpayer applies whichever regime is more favourable.

The deduction reduces the taxable base for IRES purposes (24% rate). For choosing the most advantageous regime and for correct accounting documentation, we recommend consulting your accountant or tax adviser.

Requirements for deductibility

  • Payment must be made via traceable instruments (bank transfer, cheque, company credit card). Cash is not permitted.
  • The Foundation must be registered with the RUNTS — National Single Register of the Third Sector (Fondazione Innovation Bridge ETS: ref. 1046888, 27/08/2024).
  • Retain the payment receipt and documentation confirming the nature of the beneficiary organisation.
  • Record the transaction correctly in the company's accounting records with an appropriate description.

The value for your company

Investing in the Foundation is investing in the territory.

Supporting the Foundation's activities generates tangible value: for the territory, for a culture of innovation, and for the companies themselves.

Network and relationships

Access to the network of entrepreneurs, managers, institutions and outstanding individuals who gravitate around the Foundation, through exclusive events and working groups.

Institutional visibility

The company's logo and name appear on the website, event materials, institutional communications and, for Founding Members, across all public communications.

International missions

Category 1 Supporting Members have priority access to international missions — Silicon Valley, China, and upcoming destinations — with their own staff and company representatives.

Positioning on innovation

Associating your name with a Foundation that promotes technological culture and AI strengthens the perception of modernity and openness to change — towards clients, employees and stakeholders.

Proposals and influence

Category 1 Supporting Members have the right to flag topics of interest and propose projects: a direct channel for bringing your company's needs into the Foundation's agenda.

Social responsibility

Supporting a Third Sector Organisation is a recognised form of Corporate Social Responsibility that contributes to the cultural and technological development of the territory in which the company operates.
