Giving pays

Donating through Fondazione Italia per il dono – Philanthropic Entity (F.I.Do) means supporting the causes you care about while benefiting from the tax advantages provided under Italian law.

F.I.Do is registered as a philanthropic entity in the Italian Single National Register of the Third Sector (RUNTS). As such, donations made through the Foundation qualify for the tax incentives granted to contributions in favor of Third Sector entities.

The benefits

italian individual donors may choose to:

N

claim a tax credit equal to 30% of the donated amount (increased to 35% when the donation supports volunteer organizations), up to a maximum of €30,000 per tax year;

N

or deduct donations from their taxable income up to 10% of their declared income.

Companies and non-commercial entities:

N

may deduct donations from their taxable income up to 10% of their declared income. Any excess amount may be carried forward to subsequent tax years in accordance with applicable law.

To benefit from the tax advantages, the donor must attach to their tax return a copy of the bank documentation confirming the donation and, if desired (although not required), the receipt issued by the Foundation. While bank documentation is sufficient to obtain the tax benefit, the Foundation’s receipt alone, without bank documentation, is not sufficient.
