A good investment
There are several ways your company can support Soleterre, a young and rapidly-growing organisation that is future-oriented, effective and a great communicator: from establishing a partnership in the true sense of the word, involving a commitment to shared planning and organisation, to forms of collaboration that require less direct involvement from the company, but are equally vital to the organisation's work.
A partnership with Soleterre is a good investment, because it enables firms to consolidate their reputation, especially in those cases where, in addition to the usual one-off donations, they can establish a more structured partnership with the association, with an outlook of mutual acknowledgement and collaboration.
Your company can:
Fund one of our projects
The project funder is a key figure in the implementation of the project itself. They make a considerable economic commitment, which generally relates to specific, agreed activities, to be performed within a clearly identified period of time, and accompanied by a budget.
Commit to Distance Support
This is a longer-lasting form of support for a project, enabling the association to plan activities for its beneficiaries into the mid-to-long-term future. Rather than emergency intervention, this option involves a co-development approach.
Devise and perform cause-related marketing operations with us
In this type of collaboration, the company and the association establish a reciprocally beneficial relationship. It is a more advanced form of collaboration than simple donation or sponsorship, since it forms a part of the company's marketing activities, involving its products, its processes and its public.
Organise fund-raising events or sponsor those organised by us
Events, and particularly charity events, can create good visibility both for the organisers and for the sponsors.
Soleterre organises a range of events through the year, and is always on the lookout for media partners, technical partners or sponsors. Soleterre has also been a beneficiary and guest at prestigious charity and celebratory events organised by businesses.
Propose activities in favour of Soleterre to its management, employees or team members.
The company can share its employees' social commitment (gift matching - where the firm promises to match any employee donations Euro for Euro), or invite employees to share its own social commitment (payroll giving - where employees authorise the firm to automatically take a small sum from their wages for the project supported by the firm), or through company voluntary work.
Donate goods and services for the running of the organisation.
This is an effective way to deal with the difficulties faced by non-profit organisations in procuring the goods and services they need on the market. Examples might include: donating professional skills (legal or tax consultancy, etc.), donating media space, donating goods that the organisation can exchange for free donations, freely supplying goods useful to projects, providing freight transport services in Italy and abroad.
Allocating the budget traditionally earmarked for Christmas gifts to Soleterre.
The association can provide firms with personalisable Christmas cards and letters and a good selection of fair-trade gifts. Purpose-made products and initiatives can be arranged if the request is made in good time.
