There are many ways to get involved in supporting the Citadel's projects: partnerships, event sponsorship, patronage, etc. Together, we determine which options best suit our partner companies.
Patronage is accessible to everyone, whether small, medium, or large companies. We offer tailor-made patronage programs that are consistent with their identity, culture, size, and objectives.
Three types of sponsorship:
- Financial sponsorship: traditional sponsorship and the most commonly used by companies of all sizes, this involves contributing a cash sum to a project of general interest.
- In-kind sponsorship: this type of sponsorship involves donating or providing goods or products free of charge to one of the projects that the company wishes to support.
- Skills-based sponsorship: a company has expertise that could be useful to one of the projects and makes one or more employees available to the supported project during their working hours. This is an excellent way for teams to develop their skills and their sense of belonging to the company.
A tax incentive scheme
Under Article 238 bis of the French General Tax Code, 60% of the amount of the donation made in cash, in kind, or in skills (up to a limit of 0.5% of turnover excluding VAT) can be deducted from corporate income tax.
The rewards are regulated by law. Their value must not exceed 25% of the value of the donation. This means that 85% of the value of the donations can be returned to the company in the form of various benefits.
